Suns
ThunderOklahoma City is 3-0, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is home against a Phoenix team that just lost by 41 in Portland last week. Jalen Williams is out, but the Thunder have the depth. Thunder Up.
The Matchup
- OKC keeps winning. The Thunder beat San Antonio 116-104, Denver 96-84 and the Clippers 108-101.
- Phoenix is 1-1. The Suns lost 124-83 in Portland, then beat Golden State 131-122.
- Last season. OKC went 64-18 and outscored teams by 11.1 a game. Phoenix went 45-37 at plus 1.5.
- Tip-off. 8:00 PM ET at Paycom Center.
Injuries
Jalen Williams was stretchered off Sunday against the Clippers and is out. Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Jaylin Williams (wrist) also left that game. Phoenix’s Oso Ighodaro is doubtful, and Mark Williams is out after shoulder surgery.
The Number
Last season’s margins plus home court make OKC about an eleven-and-a-half-point favorite. The board says nine and a half, even with Jalen Williams out. Two points of daylight on the Thunder.
The honest case against: OKC is playing the second night after a physical game, with three players banged up, and Devin Booker can score 35 on anyone. It’s a Game Pick, a lean, and like every pick we post, it lands on the receipts page win or lose.
Bottom Line
Take the Thunder minus nine and a half at −112 at FanDuel. Lean. The champs-in-waiting at home, even without J-Dub. Thunder Up.
Same-Game Parlay
One read in two legs. Even if OKC covers, Booker usually gets his. Every leg needs the same game, so this is one position, not two bets.
- ✓Oklahoma City Thunder -9.5
- ✕Devin Booker over 22.5 points
✕ LOST · 1 of 2 legs hit
OKC wins big while Booker puts up numbers.
