1.86Tip and bets
The Spurs are unconvincing in away games, so we do not believe in their success. If they lose, they do so by a big margin. For example, in an away match with Dallas, they lost by 17 points. Phoenix will play on its home court, so the team should not have any problems.
Our prediction is Phoenix with a handicap of (-5.5) points at 1.72
Bet on total
San Antonio has a poor away record and is not showing a high-scoring game. Given this, we expect the match to be low-scoring.
Forecast - total under 233.5 points for 1.62
Bet on statistics
Wembanyama is a real leader of the team. In 3 of the last 4 matches he scored at least 25 points. We expect the Frenchman to show a similar game.
Prediction - Victor Wembanyama: Total over 24.5 points at 1.79
