2025-26 season series: Thunder won 3-2 in regular season; won playoff series 4-0
The Suns just missed covering as 9.5-point home favorites in a 131-122 win over the Golden State Warriors Saturday. The Dubs were without G Stephen Curry and F Draymond Green. G Devin Booker went off for 43 points, 7 boards and 7 assists. The Suns had 6 players reach double figures in the game.
The Thunder failed to cover a lofty 16.5-point spread in a 108-101 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday. G
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 34 points. They won the game, but potentially lost G Jalen Williams for the season after he suffered a gruesome ankle injury. He was stretchered off after landing awkwardly on a dunk and suffered a lower-leg injury that had his foot facing the wrong way.

Suns at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 110, Suns 105
Moneyline
The Thunder have enough to get by, but it's going to be closer than one would think. They're on a back-to-back and going through the emotions of Williams' injury.
PASS.
Against the spread
Take the SUNS +9.5 (-105). As mentioned, OKC is on a back-to-back, and this is a bit of a revenge spot for Phoenix. They were swept in the playoffs by the Thunder and are catching them in a vulnerable spot.
Over/Under
OKC has yet to cash an Over this season, and Phoenix is 1-1 O/U. The Thunder scored just 108 Sunday, and I see this one going UNDER 221.5 (-115).
Best prop bet
Take Thunder C CHET HOLMGREN OVER 26.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-110) in a jump-off game for him. This is his spot against a weak Suns frontcourt. Holmgren has been a little sleepy to start the season as well.
