The Phoenix Suns' 45-37 record looks respectable, but it's a far cry from the Oklahoma City Thunder's 64-18 mark, and that disparity shows in their defensive numbers - the Thunder allow just 84.0 points per game, while the Suns give up 119.0. This contrast will be put to the test as the two teams clash at the Paycom Center, where the Thunder have dominated with a 34-7 home record, and it's hard to envision the Suns' offense finding enough rhythm to keep pace. Devin Booker leads the Suns with 26.1 points per game, but he'll need to be at his best to outduel Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averages 31.1 points per game for the Thunder.
The Suns have struggled on the road, going 20-21 away from home, and injuries aren't helping - Mikal Williams and Josh Goodwin are both listed as game-time decisions. The Thunder, meanwhile, are dealing with their own injury issues, but they've been stellar at home, and their defensive numbers suggest they can clamp down on the Suns' offense. With a spread of 19.5 points and a total of 212.5, the question is whether the Suns can pull off the upset or if the Thunder will dominate at home - make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat to see how it all plays out.
