San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been in a major slump, as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games overall. But they will be breathing a sigh of relief after they snapped a three-game skid with a 114-111 road win over the Warriors on Wednesday. Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson led the team with 21 points each. Harrison Barnes added 20 points, while Julian Champagnie chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 48 percent from the field and 18 of 46 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in deep trouble when they leaked 37 points in the third quarter to fall behind by 14 points. Before they came to life and exploded for 38 points in the fourth quarter to pull off the impressive comeback win on the road.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in terrible shape as they are now hoping to avoid a ninth straight defeat after getting shocked by the Thunder in a 125-112 home defeat on Wednesday. Bradley Beal led the team with 25 points, Devin Booker added 20 points with six rebounds and 14 assists, and Collin Gillespie chipped in with 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 42 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 39 points in the first quarter to take an early 15-point lead. But that didn’t last long at all, as the Suns just didn’t put up much of a fight after getting outscored 43-26 in the third quarter.

Suns vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still missing a bunch of players, including Devin Vassell, Victor Wembenyama, De’Aaron Fox, and Jeremy Sochan, while the Suns have ruled out Kevin Durant and Nick Richards. The Spurs were really struggling before they beat the red-hot Warriors in an upset road win on Wednesday, but that’s nothing compared to the Suns, who are now on an eight-game losing streak. They got routed by the Thunder in their last outing. I get why the Suns are still slight favorites in this one, but the Spurs beat the Suns by 120-109 back on February 20, and I am expecting a similar result in this one.
