The Suns and Spurs are managing player availability during their preseason back-to-back meetings. Phoenix is expected to rest Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Miles Bridges, Dillon Brooks, Collin Gillespie and Oso Ighodaro, opening opportunities for reserves as they compete for roles. San Antonio, which rested several starters in Monday’s game at Utah as part of a preseason plan, expects Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell back against Phoenix; De’Aaron Fox and Carter Bryant remain questionable.

Opinions Split on Spread for Spurs Road Game vs Suns

Previews of San Antonio’s visit to Phoenix split on the spread: one favors the Spurs, citing their record covering smaller numbers and the Suns’ poor performance as underdogs, while another backs Phoenix to stay within the roughly 8-to-9-point line at home. A separate prop pick recommends Jalen Green under 1.5 made three-pointers, noting his low three-point volume even in a productive recent game.
