Spurs vs. Suns Prediction & Pick

The Spurs are going to do everything they can to avoid losing their 11th straight game on Sunday, but this is a nightmare matchup for them. San Antonio has been getting demolished down low, giving up 54.3 points in the paint per game (No. 29 in NBA). Now it has to face Phoenix's center Deandre Ayton.

Ayton has dropped at least 28 points in three of his last five games and logged double-digit rebounds in seven of his last eight games. Even if Ayton can't get the job done, the Suns are shooting 37.9% from three-point range (No. 6 in NBA). Sharpshooters can be found up and down Phoenix's roster.

The Suns are 6-0 straight up in their last six games against the Spurs, so I'll trust them on the road.

Final Score Prediction: Spurs: 108 | Suns: 122

Spurs vs. Suns Best Bet

It's worth pointing out that the Spurs' losses during this recent slump have not been close, either. Six of San Antonio's last eight losses have come by double-digits and it is 0-8 against the spread (ATS) during that same span. It'll be hard for the Spurs to turn things around against the West's best teams.

That's especially the case considering the Spurs own the worst fourth quarter scoring margin in the NBA (-4.9). That means this game could be close entering the fourth quarter and still end up in a double-digit win for the Suns. After all, Phoenix is a reliable 13-7 ATS in its last 20 games overall.

Bet: Phoenix Suns -10 (-110)
