The Suns can still be the first seed in the Western Conference with a win over the Spurs and a loss for the Utah Jazz against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

During this season, the Suns have had a resurgence, and it is the first season the Suns will make the NBA playoffs since the team had Steve Nash running point-guard in 2010.

The Suns are 4-point favorites over the Spurs in San Antonio on Sunday afternoon, according to FanDuel.
