What you need to know about the Spurs

The Spurs dropped their 10th consecutive game on Friday in a 117-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Small forward Keldon Johnson wasn't much of an impact player for San Antonio, finishing with just 15 points on 7-for-23 shooting in his 35 minutes on the court. Devin Vassell had the best game of any Spurs player, recording 25 points, four rebounds and three assists.

The Spurs have had a number of key injuries as well, including starting center Jakob Poeltl and forward Jeremy Sochan, who are both expected to be out on Sunday with quad injuries. Their presence down low will be missed because the Spurs have been the seventh-best team in the NBA at pulling down offensive rebounds at 12 per game. Although the results haven't been great for San Antonio of late, the Spurs have still been disciplined on defense and have held opponents to just 21.9 free throws per game.

What you need to know about the Suns

After a 19-point win against Chicago to close out November, the Suns opened December with a surprising 122-121 loss to Houston on Friday. Shooting guard Devin Booker put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 41 points and eight assists. Booker has now gone over 40 points in each of his last three games, and has shot 66.7% from the field in those starts.

Cameron Johnson has been injured since early November, and Mikal Bridges has had to pick up the slack, but he could be limited with a light knee injury. Bridges scored 22 points against Houston on Friday, but in the four games before that, he only averaged 13 points and made 23.5% of this 3-point attempts. Even with the loss to Houston, Phoenix has shown it can grind out wins when its offense hasn't been perfect, and the Suns allow just the sixth-fewest points per game (109) this season.
