The Spurs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. The Suns are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The over is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 Sunday games. The over is 8-3 in Suns last 11 home games. The Spurs are 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Phoenix.
The San Antonio Spurs are showing recent signs of life, but we can't ignore their struggles over the last month or so and their lack of defense. The Phoenix Suns have won nine straight games, and they're winning their last five games by an average of 8.4 points. Even with a banged up roster, the Suns are as hot as any team in the league, and I question if the Spurs can get enough stops to make this competitive. I'll lay the chalk with the Suns at home.
Randy’s Pick Phoenix Suns -8.5
