Thunder vs. Suns NBA Prediction:
Given the Thunder’s strong performance this season and the Suns’ recent struggles, I expect OKC to win and cover tonight in Phoenix. The Thunder’s defense, which allows 107.6 points per game, is a significant factor against a Suns team missing key players. Oklahoma City is 7-3 straight up in the last 10 meetings between these two teams and has covered in seven out of its last 10 meetings with the Suns as well. Thunder vs. Suns will be an exciting game.
