The San Antonio Spurs will take on the Phoenix Suns in Arizona on Monday night. The Spurs are the hottest team in the NBA, winners of their last eight games. The Suns, meanwhile, are 3-5, but are rallying, winners of their last two.

Devin Booker remains a potent scorer, although the Suns refuse to start a traditional point guard alongside him. That's rather puzzling, since their best season with Booker came in 2021, when Chris Paul helped get them to the Finals. Clearly, having a pass-first floor general goes a long way in the desert.

The Spurs, meanwhile, have three point guards in their starting lineup. Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox, and Stephon Castle seem to have figured out any early-season woes, and the Spurs' starting five is one of the best units in the entire NBA.

It goes without saying that the Spurs are heavy favorites on Monday.

The Spurs have played three back-to-backs already this season, and won't have two days off in a row until December. Granted, most of their opponents have been fairly easy, but playing 48 minutes of NBA basketball on limited rest takes a toll.

Devin Vassell is a game-time decision, although Mitch Johnson doesn't want to rush anything, especially this early in the year.

"I think we really try to collaborate with the players mostly because they know their bodies and what they feel better than anybody," he said. "And then our medical staff is awesome. And they do a really thorough job, and their open communication really produces a great rhythm for the program. And we typically make a collective group decision on that. And that typically involves me just listening and following orders."

Even if Vassell doesn't suit up, the Spurs are heavy favorites in the Valley of the Sun(s).
