Suns vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder should be favored for obvious reasons, but this is a lot of points for a team that played last night. Also, OKC saw Williams get stretched off the court, and it looks like he’s going to miss the rest of the season with a nasty leg injury. I question just how focused the Thunder will be after seeing one of their best players go down in gruesome fashion. The Suns have the rest advantage, and they can score a bit. This is a lot of points. I’ll grab them with the Suns.
