Randy’s Pick
I considered the San Antonio Spurs and the points because the Phoenix Suns are likely going to be without Bradley Beal and Booker again. However, the Spurs haven't played a lick of defense up to this point, and that's not ideal with the Suns on the other side. Even without two of their three best players, the Suns are still a capable offense. Also, the Suns are a top-5 defense in the league through 3 games. I have to lay the chalk with the Suns, as the Spurs arr a young team still figuring out how to play as a unit.
