Why The Suns Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Suns are scoring a good amount against the Spurs this season. This is not a surprise, though. The Spurs allow the sixth-most points per game this season at 119.5 points. Phoenix should be able to continue to score in this game, which will help them cover the spread. In fact, they are coming off a 131-point effort against the Spurs. If they can keep up their offensive play, the Suns will cover the spread.
Phoenix is 21-6 when they score at least 120 points this season. There is no reason the Suns should score less than that in this one. With how much the Spurs struggle on defense, the Suns are going to be able to put up 120. This is especially the case with their healthy lineup. As long as Phoenix scores, they will cover the spread.
Why The Spurs Could Cover The Spread/Win
San Antonio needs to keep up on offense, and they have been able to this season. They are scoring 117.7 points per game against them. When the Spurs score at least 115 points this season, they have gotten 14 of their 15 wins. The Spurs should be able to put up that amount in this game. If they can do that, they are going to cover this spread at home.
Final Suns-Spurs Prediction & Pick
The Suns are playing good basketball, and that is going to continue in this game. The Spurs are also a struggling team. I do not see any way the Spurs win this season series with the Suns. I like the Suns to not only win this game, but cover the spread, as well. I also think the over would be a solid play in this game.
