Usually, an early season matchup between the Phoenix Suns (16-8 SU, 14-10 ATS, 7-15-2 O/U) and San Antonio Spurs (12-9 SU, 10-11 ATS, 11-10 O/U) doesn’t mean very much in the grand scheme of each team’s playoff mindset.

(O/U) 194½
Tuesday, December 15 8:00 PM ET

Tip-of: Suns vs. Hornets at 8:00 pm EST
