Suns vs Spurs Fantasy NBA
Suns’s season: Phoenix are blessed to have an emphatic scorer like Devin Booker, a high IQ playmaker like Chris Paul, two incredible young talents in Bridges and Ayton, and apart from that veterans like Jae Crowder has brought a lot of juice to the defense and they are more than an offensive team and can use their mix of youth and veteran, which gives them a terrific balance and is one of the reasons as to why they are situated at 2nd place for the NBA Standings for Western Conference. Suns will come in the game after a win behind 26 points performance by Ayton. More information about PHX vs SAS Dream11 will be given here.
Spurs’ season: San Antonio’s campaign has derailed a little this month, and it can be calculated by their 9th position in Western Conference, after being around 7th to 8th spot till March. They have lost 7 out of the last 10 games even when DeRozan has been a capable scorer, playmaker, and leader. The team is still young and the likes of Keldon Johnson, DeJounte Murray, Lonnie Walker IV, and Derrick White are still figuring out the squad-based mentality to succeed in this league. Spurs will enter this game after losing a close game against the Trailblazers despite 26 points and 10 assists by DeRozan.
