Phoenix Suns Daily Fantasy Spin
Suns forward Josh Okogie is questionable to play in his team’s game against the Spurs on Saturday night. He’s nursing a lower abdominal strain. Okogie is averaging 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per contest in 17.1 minutes per game this season.
Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic is dealing with an orbital contusion, but he’s probable to play against San Antonio on Saturday. The Bosnian big man is posting a stat line of 11.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1 block per game in 2024.

Suns vs. Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Suns have been subpar against the number all season. Phoenix is 21-29-2 ATS as a favorite and 7-10-1 ATS with the rest advantage this season. Furthermore, the Suns are 17-24 ATS in conference games and 13-25-2 ATS after a win this season. The latter figure is the second-worst mark in the league.
San Antonio has played Phoenix well this season. The Spurs beat the Suns both times these two clubs played each other. Both games were in Phoenix, with San Antonio winning the first matchup 115-114 on Halloween and the second matchup 132-121 on November 2nd. The Spurs are also 28-26 ATS after a loss and 22-20 ATS in conference games this year. San Antonio might be 15-55 straight up this season, but they are 35-35 against the number in 2024. Because of the matchup and the amount of points, I like San Antonio to cover this contest at home on Saturday night.
