Prediction
Suns 112, Spurs 105
Moneyline (ML)
The SUNS (-189) are playing much better of late, having won seven of their last 11 games. They won their two games without Oubre playing, getting great performances from Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton. The Spurs (+155) are a miserable 6-13 on the road this season and are on the back end of a back-to-back after beating the Miami Heat 107-102 Sunday. The Suns are a respectable 8-7 at home when favored but have not taken advantage of rest advantages, going 4-10 when having more rest than their opponent.
The Suns are playing well and the Spurs are coming off an impressive win, which could lead to a letdown on the road. I’d take the SUNS at -189.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The SUNS (-3.5, -129) are laying 3.5 points against San Antonio. The Spurs are 2-1 against the spread with no rest but are 6-7 ATS as road underdogs. The Suns are 6-9 ATS when favored at home but have won and covered their last two games. Expect Booker and Ayton to continue to roll and for the Suns to get the win and the cover.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at a high 226.5 points. The Suns have played to the Under in five of their last seven games and in six of nine. Spurs games have gone Under in three of their last four. The Suns don’t struggle to score points, and they can give up a lot. When the Spurs are on the road, they’ve played to the Over in 10 of 18 games. I like the UNDER 226.5 (-129) in this game. The Suns have been playing better defensively, Gay will not be 100% if he plays and the Spurs will wear out at the end.
