The Phoenix Suns and the Oklahoma City Thunder duke it out at the Paycom Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Suns Prediction. This article will include a Thunder vs Suns Pick.

Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Phoenix Suns have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve lost three of their past four games and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting stopped in their tracks by the Trail Blazers in a 121-119 overtime defeat on Monday. Devin Booker led the team with 34 points on nine of 18 shooting, Kevin Durant added 27 points with five rebounds and five assists while Bradley Beal chipped in with 25 points off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 42 from the 3-point line as they worked so hard to get a chance to send the game into a second overtime, only to fall just short as Booker missed the potential game-tying free throw with just 4.1 seconds left on the clock. The Suns will meet the Jazz after this game.

Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have continued their strong form with nine wins in their past 12 games and they will be eager to stay hot after making light work of the shorthanded Bucks in a 125-96 home win on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 34 points and six assists on 15 of 19 shooting in just 22 minutes of action, Ousmane Dieng added 21 points, eight rebounds, and five assists off the bench while Isaiah Joe chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Thunder shot 51 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates and never looked in any danger after taking a 78-44 lead going into halftime. With the game locked up early, the Thunder were able to rest all their starters and still win by a huge margin despite scoring just nine points in the fourth quarter.

Why the Oklahoma City Thunder will win

  • The Suns have lost each of their last 12 road games against Thunder teams that held a winning record.
  • The Thunder have won each of their last 10 home games against the Suns following a win.
  • The Suns have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 10 night games against Thunder teams that held a winning record.
  • The Thunder have covered the spread in each of their last eight games as favorites against the Suns.

Why the Phoenix Suns will win

  • The underdogs have won four of the Suns’ last five games.
  • The Thunder have lost three of their last four games as favorites against Western Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Thunder have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games against Western Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Suns have covered the spread in five of their last six road games following an overtime loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Suns’ last six games as underdogs has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Each of the Thunder’s last four night games against Western Conference opponents has gone OVER the total points line.

Thunder vs Suns Prediction

The Suns could be shorthanded for this one as Kevin Durant is currently listed as day-to-day with an ankle sprain, while the Thunder are still missing Chet Holmgren, Nikola Topic, and Jalen Williams. The Suns have cooled off with back-to-back losses to the Trail Blazers and they could be without Durant for this one which is massive, so it’s hard to make an argument against this red-hot Thunder squad who are coming into this one fresh off another blowout win at home. The line was always going to be massive for this one, but it still isn’t enough to sway me from taking the Thunder to get the win and cover at home where they have won 21 of 24 games this season.
