The previous meeting between these two teams finished 99-83 to the Thunder but you can expect the coaching staff to make adjustments in this one. Kevin Durant was also missing in that one like he is expected to be here but if he laces up it is just a bonus for our betting buddies.
The Phoenix Suns have firepower; it has just been inconsistent at times this season. They rank 11th in offensive rating with their record mainly coming down to poor defensive efforts and less than opportune losses.
OKC have been busting teams up, especially at home but history says these matchups often remain close despite who is on the court. If they get out to a lead there is every chance that they continue to rest their star players which gives Phoenix an opportunity for a backdoor cover, especially on a double digit line.
Take the Suns to cover getting the points and the total to stay Under. Devin Booker will need to score around 30 for us to have a chance so let’s double down on the narrative!
- The Thunder are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as double digit favourites.
- Phoenix have the 5th best True Shooting Percentage.
- Oklahoma City have rested star players in the last 2 fourth quarters.
- Devin Booker has scored 30+ in three straight games.

Phoenix Suns Form
The Suns have lost two in a row and 3 of their last 4, the most recent loss coming in OT 121-119 on the road in Portland. That game was the second meeting in a row with the Trailblazers in Portland and they did a better job after getting wiped off the floor 127-108 in their first matchup.
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant both played 45+ minutes in the overtime loss which was the third time in four games the Suns allowed their opponent to score 120 points or more. On the season they rank 18th in defence, allowing 113.9 pts per game to their opponents on 46.2% shooting average.
Scoring wise they are bang on the league average with 113.1 pts per game with Durant putting in 26.9 pts per game and Booker 26.1 pts per game. The team has the 4th best 3pt% in the league but take the 14th most three point attempts.
Phoenix Suns Team News
Kevin Durant is doubtful with an ankle sprain.
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
OKC took care of the Kings and Bucks in their two most recent match-ups posting big wins against both teams. So much so that star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t see 4th quarter minutes in both games, something most teams rarely have the luxury of doing.
The Thunder own the best record in the league at 39-9 and sit 6 games ahead of Memphis in the Western Conference standings. They have the best defence in the league, allowing just 104.4 pts per game to their opponents on 42.9% shooting.
With the ball in hand they are scoring at the 6th highest rate, putting up 116.4% while attempting the 3rd highest number of shots at 92.2 per game. SGA is the main driver behind those numbers averaging 32.5 ppg in a breakout season which is sure to bag him an MVP trophy.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
Alex Caruso is day to day while battling an ankle injury, he missed the game against the Bucks. Chet Holmgren is still 3-5 weeks away from returning to duties. Jalen Williams is also day to day with a wrist problem.
