Suns vs Spurs Prediction
The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 38-16 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 19-6 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 32-23 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have been a good road team too with their 14-13 road record this year. The Suns went into the All-Star Break off a loss to the Thunder and they haven't looked great lately. They are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and even though they have Booker back in their lineup, they are still really banged up with some key players out. They haven't been a bad road team this year, but they definitely haven't been at their best on the road, and they are going to struggle against a team that has been playing like the best team in the NBA over the last 2 months. The Spurs have been rolling lately as they are starting to get into a groove as a true contender in the West. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games now and they went into the break with 6 wins in a row. The Suns have the talent to go toe-to-toe with the Spurs when healthy, but this is a bad situation for them banged up on the road when the Spurs have a lot more depth to play with. Look for the Spurs to come out of the All-Star Break strong and continue rolling in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
