Suns vs Thunder Prediction
The current betting odds have the Suns listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 23-1 record overall which has them right at the top of the West with the best record in the entire NBA. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 11-0 home record. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 14-10 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 6-6 road record. The Suns are off a road win over the Timberwolves in their last one and they have looked good lately, going 6-4 in their last 10 games, but they have also been getting by lately without their best player on the court. Booker has been out and will likely be out for this one too. That is going to be trouble for this Suns team, playing against the defending champions and the current best team in the NBA this season too. The Thunder won the NBA Championship last season, but they haven't skipped a beat this season. They only have 1 loss in 24 games to start the year and they have been rolling in their games lately with 15 wins in a row now. They don't play in many tight games either, blowing out a majority of their opponents, and they are going to be focused on this game since it is for the NBA Cup. Look for the Thunder to keep rolling on their home court with the Suns still missing a key player in their lineup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Everyone that came in the game contributed, that start of the fourth quarter really helped us put us in a good spot.” - Jordan Ott after his team’s win against the Timberwolves in their game on Monday.
"He's got a lot of experiences. I think a 23-game playoff run [last season] was informative for everybody, including him. He channels all that into his work, which is ruthlessly consistent and very focused. So, all he's ever done is improve. At this point, as great of a player as he is, it's not surprising when it gets even better." - Mark Daigneault on SGA this season.
