NBA Betting Trends

San Antonio

The Spurs are 1-4 against the spread in their last five road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.

Phoenix

The Suns are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 games following a loss, but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite.

Prediction:

These two have yet to meet this season, but the Spurs have owned the Suns in previous years. However, Phoenix is trying to make something of this season and they can build some momentum with DeAndre Ayton returning to the team next week. The Spurs just haven’t been reliable this year. They have some good games and then have some awful ones. Their lack of defense is an issue and it will be a problem against a Phoenix team that can definitely score. The Spurs have the ability to score on Phoenix as well, but I feel like the Suns are a hungrier team right now.

NBA Prediction: Phoenix Suns -2.5
