The Phoenix Suns rode an explosive first quarter to beat the San Antonio Spurs in their first meeting in December. Phoenix held Victor Wembanyama to 15 points on 6-for-18 shooting. The Suns have less to worry about if Wemby is out, but they will have to sustain their defensive execution.

Kevin Durant had a poor shooting night against the Spurs, finishing with 13 points in December. A former University of Texas star in college, Durant returns to a place where he was a fan favorite. He could have a big-scoring night in Austin.

Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs betting tips

De’Aaron Fox is averaging 21.6 points per game on 50.0% efficiency since joining the Spurs. If Victor Wembanyama is out, he might top his 24.5 (O/U) points prop. If Wemby gets the clearance to play, betting under on Fox is the route to go.

The well-rested Devin Booker, who felt snubbed in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, could have a big night against the Spurs. He had 29 points in the first meeting between the two teams and is averaging 29.7 PPG this month. He could top his 25.5 (O/U) points prop.

Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs prediction

Victor Wembanyama’s presence or absence could determine the winner. If Wemby is out, the Suns are likely to end a three-game losing skid and win the season series against San Antonio. On the other hand, the Spurs could tie the head-to-head duel if the Frenchman is cleared to play.
