The Phoenix Suns (44-37) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (64-17) for a 2025-26 NBA regular-season matchup on Monday, April 13, at Paycom Center.
With both squads firmly locked into their Western Conference postseason spots, key players could sit out this game. The Thunder have clinched the top seed and are actively resting their heavy hitters, while the Suns, bound for the play-in tournament, are equally cautious with their main rotation.
Having said that, the Thunder and the Suns have faced each other four times this season, with OKC winning three of those meetings. Their most recent matchup ended in a lopsided win for the Thunder, 136-109.
OKC is coming off a 127-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets, but the Thunder opted to rest their starters in that match. Branden Carlson led the team with 23 points and 12 rebounds, while Jared McCain and Kenrich Williams added 15 each.
Prior to that loss to the Nuggets, the Thunder won seven straight games.
Meanwhile, the Suns are also coming off a lopsided 101-73 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Only two Suns players scored in double digits in the loss, with Dillon Brooks and Royce O'Neale producing 12 and 11 markers, respectively.
