Total: NBC Sports Bet is recommending a play on the over on the Game Total of 236.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards De'Aaron Fox over 24.5 Points...

Thomas: "While Victor Wembanyama's absence for tonight's game doesn't come as a surprise, the Spurs now have a new concern, as they learned today that he would be out for the rest of the season.

Fox was already a great candidate to have a massive might against a Suns team who allow 25 points per game to point guards per game. There must be a sense that this is Fox's team now.

Given the news, I expect a big offensive output from Fox tonight."
