Phoenix Suns vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Phoenix Suns have played well enough this season to deserve a look in the big underdog role, but they’re still without Durant and their inability to defend the three is a concern. The Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the best covering teams in the league last season, and they’re 8-3-1 ATS on the season. The Thunder are the fourth-best covering team so far this season with a 72.7 percent cover percentage. OKC has won and covered each of the last 3 games against the Suns. I’ll lay the points with the Thunder at home.
