The Suns are entering this game with a 26-28 record overall this season and they are 10-17 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

The Spurs are entering this game with a 23-29 record overall this season and they are 13-12 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs haven't looked great in their games this season with their 23-29 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West, but they are still in a position to make a run at the play-in game as they are only a few games behind. They have looked a lot better on their home court this year too with their 13-12 home record. Meanwhile, the Suns haven't looked great in their games this season with their 26-28 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West too. They are in the first spot outside of the play-in tournament so they can still make a run to get into the playoffs, but they haven't looked good in their road games this year with their 10-17 road record. Neither team has looked great lately either as both teams are 3-7 in their last 10 games and playing their first game out of the All-Star break here. The Spurs lost their last game before the break to the Celtics, but the Suns went into the break with 3 losses in a row and won't be feeling good about themselves coming out. The Spurs also made some big moves at the trade deadline to improve their team so look for them to take advantage of a Suns team that hasn't played their best on the road this season and hasn't looked good lately either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
