Smart Game Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder has a 72% chance of winning the game
The dominant 30-5 Thunder are poised to continue their road success against a new-look Suns roster that struggles to match Oklahoma City's elite two-way firepower.
Key Analysis
- • Phoenix is missing key scorer Jalen Green, which severely limits their offense against the league's top-ranked defense.
- • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.2 points per game and presents a mismatch for the Suns' perimeter defenders.
- • Oklahoma City has already defeated Phoenix twice this season, including a massive 49-point blowout in December.
- • The Thunder enter this matchup with significant momentum on a four-game winning streak and a stellar 13-3 road record.
- • Phoenix has been the best team against the spread this season (66.6%), indicating they often outperform low expectations.
- • The Suns must aggressively attack the paint to exploit the absences of Thunder big men Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams.
