Phoenix Suns vs San Antonio Spurs: Key matchups

Devin Booker vs De'Aaron Fox

Both starters at the shooting guard position are former All-Stars who can light it up from the perimeter. Though Booker is having a bit of a down season in terms of his shooting clip from deep (33.9%), he is still an outside threat that Spurs guards cannot leave wide open. Fox, on the other hand, is shooting 50% from the field, which is close to his career high of 51.2%.

Tyus Jones vs Chris Paul

The matchup at point guard is a battle of cerebral floor generals. In his first season with the Suns, Jones is averaging 6.0 assists per game (though he's also committing 1.4 turnovers a night, the most of his career thus far). Jones will have his hands full with Paul, as the Point God is dishing 8.1 assists per game while shooting 41.4% from the field.

Kevin Durant vs Harrison Barnes

Durant, the most lethal scorer on either team in this matchup, has been climbing the list of all-time leading scorers. Earlier this month, he became just the eighth player in NBA history to crack 30,000 points. There is no way, of course, that Barnes — who was a starting forward on the revolutionary Golden State Warriors team before Durant came to the Bay Area — will allow himself to be outhustled.
