Suns vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still playing without De’Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk, Luke Kornet and Jeremy Sochan, while the Suns are missing Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green. The Spurs have hit the ground running this season, Wembenyama has taken his game to another level, and he is getting plenty of support from his teammates. The Suns were really struggling before they took down the young Jazz in their last outing.
The line is a bit hefty for a road team, but the Spurs are levels above the Suns at the moment and they should have no trouble containing the Suns who rely so heavily on Booker for scoring. Perhaps it’s close in the first half, but in the end I have the Spurs pulling away and winning comfortably on the road.
