San Antonio at Phoenix

A classic second half of the season mismatch against a top team that is motivated every night and another that has packed in the season. San Antonio has so much depth and firepower, fourth in the NBA in points scored, tops in assists, but also tenth in points allowed. San Antonio wraps up a brutal road stretch here and plays 13 of the next 15 at home. And they come off a stinging OT loss at Golden State that had the players quiet afterwards. They blew a 13-point lead and are 16-2 the last 18 games. "We want to finish on a good note before we go back home," point guard Tony Parker said. "If we win in Phoenix, it will be a very nice road trip."  The Spurs are 22-11 on the road and 4-0-1 ATS in their last five after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Phoenix has lost six of its last seven games, off a no-show loss at home, 113-88, to the Boston Celtics on Friday. Phoenix has the worst record in the Western Conference. The Suns don't do anything well, 21st in points scored, 22nd in points allowed and a bad rebounding team. San Antonio has won the last five meetings, including a 108-99 home victory on Jan. 26. Phoenix is 2-7 ATS at home and the Spurs are 4-0-1 ATS in the last five  meetings. Play the Spurs.
