Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder Predictions & Picks
Oklahoma City are tipped to cover a double digit spread as they take the series opener.
The Thunder lost a ‘dead rubber’ with the Suns last week, but it’s time to get serious now and the simple truth is that they are better than Phoenix at both ends of the court.
- Oklahoma City Thunder are 22-4 in their last 26 games
- Phoenix Suns are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games
- Oklahoma City Thunder are 6-1 in the last 7 meetings at home
- Oklahoma City Thunder are 4-2-0 ATS in the last 6 home meetings
- The Over has cashed in 6 of the previous 7 meetings
Head To Head
- Phoenix Suns lead the all-time series 151-138
- Phoenix Suns won 135-103 when the two teams last met on April 12
Phoenix Suns Form
Phoenix enter this playoff series in inconsistent form, having lost five of their last nine games and having strung together wins just once since the first half of March.

Verdict
The number is large for this series opener, but Oklahoma City are the better all-round team.
They are in great form and boast a strong recent home record against the Suns, so we are backing the Thunder to ease past a Phoenix team that has rarely covered in recent weeks.
