Suns vs Spurs prediction
The Suns are obviously capable of blowing the doors off here, but the Spurs have actually won the first two meetings this season. Also, the Suns are 28-40-2 ATS on the season. With a cover percentage of 41.1 percent, only the Hornets and Hawks are worse covering teams this season than the Suns. The Spurs have covered 6 of their last 10 games, and they've been more competitive than their SU record suggests. This is a lot of points for the Suns on the road. Give me the Spurs and the free buckets.
