San Antonio Spurs

Finishing off the west coast road trip with consecutive victories would make for a sweet sequence for the high-effort-exerting San Antonio Spurs.

However, on Tuesday night, San Antonio faces a juggernaut, the Phoenix Suns, at the Footprint Center. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker against an injured Spurs seems like a barn burner in the making.

Winners of their last five games, the Suns' momentum heightens in time for the playoffs. Phoenix's defensive efficiency pays off in the win-loss column and advanced stats during the aforementioned stretch. The Suns' 106.4 defensive rating pits them third league-wide, and dominance is displayed in their 13.1 net rating.

With no injuries for the Suns, on paper, consider Tuesday's contest a "squash match" as the Spurs lack the firepower and bodies to contend with such an opponent. However, don't expect the Spurs to lay down for the count without a fight.
