The Spurs however are locked into the tenth seed, which is the fourth seed in the play-in tournament. Although the Spurs have nothing to play for and the Suns know well and good their chances of the one seed are virtually gone, these types of games usually find a way to produce the most interesting results.

Suns vs Spurs Prediction
Not only would a healthy Spurs team be outmatched, but they also won’t have their best player in DeMar Derozan, and their second option Dejounte Murray won’t be healthy either. Yes, this team did beat the brakes off of Phoenix, 111-85, earlier in the season, but a one-game sample can’t be taken with too much weight. The Suns are going to play like they have all year and crush the spread. The massive injuries to the Spurs though will make sure the under hits.
