Gregg Popovich's men suffered a loss of form, when they were already in the play-in zone. Team keeps fighting though, but it will be hard to achieve success with such a weak performance.
San Antonio suffered three consecutive defeats, but managed to step up after that and put an end to their string of defeats, beating Clippers (101:94) at home. Spurs' players were looking decent, despite a number of mistakes. Now team is approaching another home game, but this time they will face the leader of the Western Conference.
Suns are feeling themselves comfortable at the top of the Western Conference standings. Monty Williams' men managed to break away from their closest competitor, Golden State.
Phoenix recorded three consecutive victories over Toronto (99:95), Indiana (112:94) and Detroit (135:108). As we see, it is not so easy to stop the Suns, so team from Arizona will be an overwhelming favourite of the match against Spurs. Chris Paul and co need to secure a top spot.

Tip and bets
San Antonio team is having a dissapointing season, it is hard to achieve a positive result with such an inconsistent performance. Gregg Popovich is trying to do something to fix the situation, but so far it leads to nowhere. Spurs will have a very dangerous opponent in the next match, so they need to be prepared.
Phoenix easily beat Detroit in the previous game, so they will try to extend their success at Texas. Team is trying to secure a top spot in the Conference, so they will do everything to continue their run of good results and we think that they will be successful in it.
Our prediction - Handicap (-3) points on Phoenix Suns
We don't think that hosts will be able to stop the visitors' offense. Gregg Popovich's men can only try to outscore the opponent, so we offer to place a bet on total over.
Our second bet is on total over 219 points
