Spurs at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 116, Spurs 112

Moneyline

AVOID.

The season just started and the Suns are already banged up. They are missing 2 of their stars in Beal and Booker. We will continue to see Kevin Durant carry the load for Phoenix until they return to the lineup. The Spurs are a well-coached scrappy bunch with a young star in Victor Wembanyama, who had 18 points and 8 rebounds Tuesday vs. the Suns.

The Suns bounce back at home on Thursday night. I don't believe they will drop both of these games against San Antonio, but I'm definitely not going to bet them at -300. I'm going to save my money for the spread in this game.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +7.5 (-105).

The Spurs are a team on the rise and the Suns are just piecing it together until their stars return. San Antonio has covered in 2 of their last 3 games. I love them getting the 7.5 points.

I could see Wembanyama topping his total of 18 points in the 1st game against this banged-up Suns team. He needs to protect the ball better though, he had 5 turnovers on Tuesday night.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5

The Spurs have gone Over the posted total in 3 of their 4 games this season. While the Suns have been over in their last 2.

San Antonio wants to play at a brisk pace and are averaging the 2nd-most possessions per game while the Suns aren't as fast, but are still top 12. The name of the game is getting as many scoring opportunities as possible.

Both teams average 110.8 points per game thru 4 games this season.
