Game Preview
After a great start and nine wins in ten events, the Suns slowed down, losing two of the past three events. Interestingly, both were against the Sacramento Kings. Wednesday’s defeat was 127-104 in Sacramento.
However, the Suns couldn’t count on Kevin Durant, who is injured, and Bradley Beal, who, too, has health problems. That was immediately felt, with the Suns having only 30% from behind the arc and 37.1% shooting from the field.
The OKC Thunder is again flying under the radar, with the media being focused on all sorts of different things. Nobody talks about them topping the NBA Western Conference standings and having ten wins with two defeats.
This will be the Thunder’s fourth game in a row at Paycom Center. They have won two of the previous three, against the Rockets and the Clippers, while losing to the Golden State Warriors. Overall, the Thunder is 6-1 at home since the NBA season started.
Suns vs. Thunder Head to Head
This is the first meeting in the 2024/25 NBA season. OKC won all three games last year.
Suns vs. Thunder Prediction
The Phoenix Suns are experiencing too many problems right now and are facing the Thunder, which is fantastic at home. That’s why we expect the OKC Thunder to triumph here.
- Suns vs. Thunder pick: Thunder wins
