Spurs vs Suns Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips – NBA 10 November

The San Antonio Spurs take an eight-game winning streak to the Mortgage Matchup Center to face the Phoenix Suns, with tip-off at 3:00pm NZT on Tuesday 10 November. Both sides played on Sunday, so neither has a rest advantage.

Phoenix have just won two in a row for the first time this season, but they haven’t faced anyone like Victor Wembanyama yet. If you bet on NBA totals, this is the game I’d focus on.

Odds from Picklebet, correct at 9:00am NZT, 9 November. Subject to change.

San Antonio Spurs

Last 5: W-W-W-W-W · Record: 8-2 · ATS: 4-6

After dropping their first two games, to Oklahoma City and Houston, San Antonio have won eight straight. The last two came on back-to-back nights in Sacramento and Portland, and they made 17 threes in the 22-point win at the Moda Center. A day off on Monday helps, although this is their third straight road game, with Chicago to come later in the week. They’ve beaten Dallas twice in that streak, including a 112-111 escape at home last week.

Phoenix Suns

Last 5: L-L-L-W-W · Record: 3-5 · ATS: 2-6

I’m still not sure what to think of Phoenix. They lost five of their first six games, then beat Orlando by 13 and held on against Houston 102-99 after leading by 19. They’ve also lost all three of their road games.

Devin Booker scored 24 in that win, while Miles Bridges chipped in with a double-double. Their defence is my concern, having given up 124 or more in four of their first six games.

(1) Harris has a left calf strain and is yet to play this season.
(2) Quaintance is still recovering from right knee surgery.
(3) Williams tore his left labrum in September and hasn’t played since having surgery.
(4) Goodwin hurt his right calf in last week’s loss to Golden State and has missed Phoenix’s last three games.

Losing Goodwin hurts the Suns most here, because it leaves them with one fewer backcourt defender to use on De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper.

The home side won all four meetings last season, with San Antonio taking the March game 101-100.

• Road totals – All four of San Antonio’s road games this season have finished with 228 or more points.
• Suns overs – Five of Phoenix’s eight games have gone over the total.
• Underdog record – Phoenix have won just once in six games as Moneyline underdogs.
• Wembanyama’s efficiency – Wembanyama scored 29 points on 9-for-13 shooting in Portland.

I’m more confident in the points than the result here. Phoenix’s five home games have averaged almost 235 combined points, and they put up 131 against Golden State on this floor.

San Antonio should still win, because Phoenix don’t have the size to bother Wembanyama without Williams. I’ll take them by double figures. They’ve conceded between 103 and 111 points in their four road games, which is why I have Phoenix around 110. His points market on the best betting apps is another option if you want a second angle.

If Phoenix defend the way they did against Houston, the Over is in trouble, and I can’t rule that out.

My prediction: Spurs 121-110.

Over 227.5 Total Points – $1.91

San Antonio are averaging 122 points on the road, and Phoenix have scored 117 or more in four of their five home games. Only one of those home games finished under 220.

Picklebet has the Over at $1.91, and if you’re signing up, keep an eye out for any betting promotions.

I’m happy with that price, even with Phoenix’s defence tightening up in their last two games.
