The Phoenix Suns (42-30 SU, 30-41-2 ATS) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-22 SU, 41-31 ATS) in what could be a possible playoff preview. The Suns seem desperate to stay out of the play-in tournament, as they have won five of their past seven games and covered in all of them. None of the Suns' past eight victories have come by less than six points, and they've won five of their past eight away from Phoenix.
Oklahoma City plays without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as it tries to bounce back from an overtime loss to Houston. The Thunder beat the Suns twice in Phoenix this season, but they have lost three of their past five meetings in Oklahoma. The Thunder's defense has been suspect lately; it has given up 110 points or more to six of its past eight opponents.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
When the Suns win in this series, they've been cashing the over. The total is lower than would be expected because the Thunder won't be at full strength, and the Suns have shown themselves willing to hit the gas. Against San Antonio and Atlanta, the Suns went over 120 and covered the spread and the total. The Suns also have a weapon they didn't have last time against the Thunder; Devin Booker is scheduled to take the floor.
OKC isn't going to dominate this series forever. With the Thunder not at full strength and the Suns looking desperate to get a guaranteed playoff spot, it appears this is the ideal time for Phoenix to change the narrative. Our prediction for Suns vs. Thunder is Suns -1.5.
Prediction:
Suns -1.5
