San Antonio Spurs vs Phoenix Suns game preview, Digi Mart USA News: The San Antonio Spurs have been stacking up wins while largely overwhelming their competition during a weaker stretch of their schedule. Aside from a one-point win over the Dallas Mavericks in which the Spurs could not make a three-pointer, they have won four double-digit games in their last five contests.
Next up are the Phoenix Suns, who gave the Spurs real trouble early last season and split the season series but have been inconsistent to start this year. Last season, the Suns’ deep roster leaned on savvy passing, long-distance shooting and sturdy defense.
Their passing (fifth in assists) and shooting (12th in three-point percentage, eighth in field goal percentage) have remained strengths.
The Suns’ defense and depth look weaker without Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale, who were traded to Charlotte in exchange for Miles Bridges. Bridges is struggling to fill the void left by two important contributors.
Phoenix ranks 27th in Defensive Rating and 23rd in Net Rating, although the Suns are on a two-game winning streak.
The Spurs have been especially strong recently, ranking second in Offensive Rating, third in Defensive Rating and tied for first in Net Rating over their last eight games, including the narrow win over Dallas. Victor Wembanyama is averaging 37 points per game over the last three games on 60/40/80 shooting splits.
The game is scheduled for November 9, 2026, at 8 p.m. CT.
The Spurs (8-2) are at home against the Suns (3-5). Injury reports list Tobias Harris (calf) and Jayden Quaintance (knee) as out and Devin Vassell (hip) as questionable for San Antonio.
For Phoenix, Jordan Goodwin (calf) is questionable and Mark Williams (shoulder) is out.
