Suns @ Spurs Sunday game thread 5-16-2021 / Season Finale

[Mainstreet]

On Sunday the Suns wrap up the final game of the regular season as they play the second of back-to-back games at the Spurs.

Spurs are 33-38 and will participate in the play-in as the 10th seed.

Suns are now 50-21 after defeating the Spurs 140-103 on Saturday.

Phoenix is assured of the second best record in the NBA with a slight chance of finishing first. They are playoff bound.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is scheduled for 11 a.m. Arizona time.

It will be interesting to see what the injury report looks like for tomorrow and see who plays.

I don’t see it as resting when you consider how many days off they are going to get waiting for play in. If anything it’s injury avoidance imo.

A look at the Spurs injury report. It appears they have some players back.

[Mainstreet]

Players like Jakob Poeltl and DeMar DeRozan could be back today. It looks to be a much tougher game than the previous meeting.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here is a follow up on the Spurs injury report. As previously mentioned, DeRozan and Poeltl are available for Spurs.

I wish the Kings were healthy when they play Utah today.

Kings are resting a bunch of players.

Which means this game is meaningless for the suns.

We should just rest our key contributors, and give stix a full game.

Yep, rest them all and let the refs sort them out.

This will become a scrimmage for us, since it seems unlikely the Jazz will lose. However, that is still valuable since we will be out a week without games while the Play in Tournament happens. I am so thrilled we seem to have outperformed the most optimistic predictions of the preseason!

It's not good news Gay and Murray will be available. The Spurs are tuning up for the playoffs.

so much for that idea that the Kings are gonna be looking for revenge after their 50 point shellacking.

This is what the Kings lineup could look like today.
