Game 3 in the NBA Playoffs Western Conference first round sees the Phoenix Suns with their backs against the wall as they host the OKC Thunder. The Thunder come into this one in a dominant position, leading 2-0 and with many expecting them to sweep this series. Will the Suns be able to hold them off? Check out our match prediction below!
The Suns had reason for optimism after a 135-103 victory over the Thunder just before the playoffs started. However, the context is that both teams rested starters, and OKC quickly brought Phoenix back down to Earth in Games 1 & 2.
The Thunder cruised to a 2-0 series lead after their 119-84 win in Game 1 was followed up with a 120-107 win in Game 2. It was a defensive clinic by OKC in Game 1, holding the Suns to just 33.4% shooting from the field and outrebounding them 54-45.
The Suns shot the ball better in Game 2 but they were unable to keep up with the Thunder who went 14/40 from 3PT range and were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 37 points.
The turnover battle can so often be a deciding factor in playoff basketball and the Thunder excel in that department. They’ve lived up to the billing in the first two games of the series, forcing the Suns into commiting 41 turnovers.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is simply unstoppable at the moment. The reigning MVP, Finals MVP and defending champion consistently puts up massive points totals when he has enough time on the court. With this being the playoffs, SGA should hit the required minutes threshold, barring a blowout scoreline.
As he showed in so far, Gilgeous-Alexander should be able to get to the charity stripe at will. He shot 15/17 from the line in Game 1 and followed that up with 9/9 free throws in Game 2. Our Phoenix Suns vs OKC Thunder prediction: Gilgeous-Alexander over 29.5 points.
