NBA: Suns at Spurs: Pick & Prediction

In the first full slate of NBA games after the All-Star break, fans are in for a treat with a potential Western Conference play-in preview between the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs, who will battle tonight on TNT/truTV/Max at 9:30 PM EST.

According to BetMGM Sportsbook, the Suns boast +400 odds to make the postseason, while San Antonio is at +550. Each will have some work to do in the second half of the year, as the Suns and Spurs are the 11th and 12th seeds, respectively.

Check out our in-depth preview and prediction below.

PHX @ SAS Odds

After being swept in round one of the 2024 NBA playoffs, the Suns have seemingly entered a free fall, as they’ve been one of the most disappointing teams in the league.

They have quickly become one of the oldest and most expensive teams in all of basketball. GM James Jones tried to retool the team by acquiring center Nick Richards at the NBA trade deadline.

Additionally, tensions could be at an all-time high with future first-ballot Hall of Famer Kevin Durant; Phoenix was openly shopping him this past deadline but was unable to complete a deal.

It seems like a foregone conclusion Durant will be on the move this summer, but for now, Phoenix will look to put that past them in this matchup.

They could receive a boost as Victor Wembanyama appears to be coming down with an illness and is questionable for this one. Make sure to check his status before game time.

Phoenix was able to oust San Antonio in their first matchup, 104-93. With Wemby’s status in the air, it’s tough to predict this one way or the other; so, we’ll look towards a player: Devin Booker. 

Booker scored 29 in his first meeting against the Spurs, and we expect him to continue to dominate here. Booker’s usage has seemingly increased, reaching 9+ assists in two of his last three games before the All-Star break. Expect Phoenix to continue to lean into Booker’s playmaking in this one.
