Thunder vs Suns NBA Preview
My theory is basically that without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, you can beat the Thunder if you are a serious team.
The Lakers are not serious without Luka Doncic, hence Monday’s defeat — but the Suns are serious.
For starters, the Suns are a much better defensive team than the Lakers.
The Suns force the most turnovers in the league — even more than Oklahoma City — and without both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell, the Thunder are more prone to turnovers and offensive stall-outs that lead to turnovers.
The Suns struggle on the glass and foul a lot. Meanwhile, the Thunder are middle of the pack in rebounds and don’t draw many fouls outside of SGA, who juices their numbers there.
Phoenix is also well built offensively to match up against Oklahoma City.
The Thunder give up a ton of three-pointers. They dare you to hit against closeouts, and the Suns are top-10 in both attempts and makes from deep.
Phoenix is 19-11 ATS when the opponent allows an above-average rate of 3-point makes.
Thunder vs Suns Predictions, Betting Analysis
Devin Booker is the best player on the floor in this game.
The Thunder are coming off a feel-good win over the Lakers.
The Suns already have a win against the Thunder with Shai from earlier this season, and Phoenix is 18-9 ATS at home.
I will absolutely grab the Suns here, even on the back-to-back, and even if Devin Booker skips out early for All-Star weekend.
Pick: Suns +7.5 (-115)
