Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder got out to a fast start to the tournament, winning 2 of the 3 games, but in the last two games they have really struggled. In the last game against the Miami Heat, the Thunder scored 72 points, but the defense gave up 102 points and that led to the blowout defeat. Ajay Mitchell did have a strong game, putting up 21 points, and he hit his only shot from deep. Adam Flager hit 4 of his 11 shots from deep, and he ended up, putting up 20 points. There were three different players that put up at least 11 points. In this game, the Thunder are going to need the defense to be better. 

Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Phoenix Suns have been competitive so far, but they have lost each of their first two games. On Tuesday, the Suns scored 94 points against the Indiana Pacers, and they ended up losing 98-94. The Sun were strong in the first half, but in the second half they weren’t as good. In the third quarter, they were outscored 29-18. David Roddy hopes to be a long term option for the Suns, and he put up 16 points and 12 rebounds. Oso Ighodaro also put up 12 points, four assists, and four steals. 

Phoenix Suns vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Thunder’s defense in the last game up 102 points and that is going to be a big problem here. The Suns offense scored 94 points on Tuesday, and they are going to have no issue running up the score again here. The Thunder’s offense isn’t going to be as good here, and it’s going to be the Suns that are going to have no issue getting the job done here. Back the Suns against the spread. 

Shane Mickle's Pick: Sun -2.5
