The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 12 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 39-9 record overall which has them leading the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 21-3 home record which is one of the best home records in the NBA. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 25-24 record overall, but that record has them in the bottom half of the West and fighting to make the playoffs. They haven't been a good road team this year either, going 10-15 in their road games. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games, but they have lost 2 games in a row now and lost both of those games to the Trail Blazers who are one of the worst teams in the West. The Thunder are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have won 2 games in a row now, coming off a big win over the Bucks in their last one too. The Thunder have a lot of impressive wins under their best this season and they are fighting with the Cavaliers in the East to have the best record in the NBA so the Thunder aren't going to be slowing down as the playoffs get closer, especially since they have a lot of young talent on their team. The Suns have been really up and down for most of the season and they haven't looked good lately with 2 losses to the Trail Blazers, they are going to struggle in this road game against one of the best in the NBA. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

“One of the greats, maybe the all-time great Phoenix Sun.” - Mike Budenholzer on Devin Booker becoming the Suns all-time leading scorer.

"He's working on a small sample in the NBA minutes, which is why the Blue is so important. We evaluate players in totality. What you guys see in the last 12 minutes of the game is not what we see. We see him in high-minute workouts, we see him do his work every day. We watch the Blue games. All those guys' body of work is really good." - Mark Daigneault on Adam Flagler this season.
