This is a quick turnaround for an OKC team that played yesterday and it doesn’t help that Steven Adams is questionable with a leg injury. The Phoenix Suns are the only undefeated team in the NBA bubble, and they need to keep winning to give themselves a shot at a playoff spot. This is easily some of the best basketball the Suns have played in quite some time, and Booker appears to be a guy on a mission to keep the train moving. With the rest advantage and being in a more desperate situation, the Suns should get the job done despite losing eight straight against the Thunder.

I’ll lay the bucket.
