The Phoenix Suns (49-21) play the first half of a two-game set to wrap up the regular season against the San Antonio Spurs (33-37) Saturday at AT&T Center. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Suns vs. Spurs odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Suns can still lock up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, but they need to win Saturday and Sunday against the Spurs, while hoping the Utah Jazz are dumped by the Sacramento Kings Sunday.
Phoenix won just two of its past five outings, while going 1-4 against the spread during the span. The Over cashed in seven of the past eight games for the Suns.
The Spurs backed into a play-in spot and will face the Los Angeles Lakers on the road in the 7-10 game. The other three play-in teams have won three or more games in a row, and are running hot. The Spurs are ice cold.
San Antonio is just 2-8 straight up while going 5-4-1 ATS across its past 10 outings. The Spurs spanked the Suns in Phoenix by a 111-85 count April 17 as 12.5-point underdogs in the first meeting this season.

Suns at Spurs: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 115, Spurs 99
Money line (ML)
The Suns (-625) will cost you more than six times your potential return, and that’s risky business on the road, even if they have a lot to play for.
The Spurs roughed up the Suns in their first meeting, and while they’re ice-cold lately, it certainly makes Phoenix less attractive.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The SUNS -10.5 (-110) are heavy favorites on the road. The Spurs are catching double digits at home, and that’s quite a bit of wiggle room; however, their leading scorer and assist man in DeRozan is resting, as well as their top rebounder in Poeltl. It screams stay away.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 222.5 (-110) is the play, as the Spurs will have at least two of their key components resting, and Gay could also rest his heel with the back-to-back situation. The Under cashed in eight of the past 10 head-to-head meetings in San Antonio, and another looks like a good bet.
