The Phoenix Suns have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Rockets in a 119-111 road defeat on Wednesday. Kevin Durant led the team with 37 points and nine assists on 15 of 22 shooting, Bol Bol added 15 points while Nick Richards chipped in with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Suns shot 51 percent from the field and 10 of 26 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and looked to be in control when they poured in 35 points in the third quarter to build an 11-point lead before they went cold and got outscored by 35-19 in the fourth quarter to allow the Rockets off the hook in the end. The Suns will face the Bulls following this one.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a rut as they’ve lost 10 of their last 14 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting routed by the red-hot Celtics in a 116-103 road defeat on Wednesday.

Spurs vs Suns Prediction
The Suns could still be shorthanded with Devin Booker and Grayson Allen both listed on the injury report, while the Spurs have listed Victor Wembenyama as doubtful due to an illness. The Suns have been well below their best lately, but they still have Durant and Beal which is more than enough firepower to take down a struggling Spurs team who could be missing their big man who is so important on both ends of the floor. This is a game I would rather stay away from as you couldn’t trust either team with any confidence, but the Suns are tempting at the short line in this spot.
