One team's inactivity, the Suns, and the other's activity, the Spurs, should shape the way these teams play out the rest of the season. The Suns tried to deal away Durant unsuccessfully and were unable to move on Beal. The Spurs were able to pry De'Aaron Fox away from the Kings and now have a premier scorer alongside Wembanyama. The two teams are equal in scoring but the Spurs have the edge in rebounding and both teams equally defend the three-ball. The addition of Fox gives the Spurs much more spacing on the floor and this is the healthiest the team has been all season. With the All-Star break behind them, this could be a breakout game for Fox and his team with more time to work on their sets.
