The Spurs are in the middle of a season-best four-game winning streak after defeating Steph Curry and the league-leading Golden State Warriors on the road on Saturday night. San Antonio will look to remain undefeated on their brief Western Conference road trip as they make a final pit stop in the Grand Canyon State for a date with the Phoenix Suns.
While the second-place Suns lost All-Star swingman Devin Booker to a hamstring injury and saw their franchise-record 18-game heater come to an end, the good guys shouldn’t write off their shorthanded opponent. Deandre Ayton is among the best roll men in the NBA, Mikal Bridges is a darkhorse candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, and any franchise led by Chris Paul has a chance to compete.
