After the loss to Golden State, Oklahoma is showing excellent play again. Deinolly men have won their last two games. First, they defeated the Clippers (134:128), and then they beat New Orleans (106:88).
Thanks to these successes, the Thunder retained the first place in the West, one win ahead of the Golden State.

Interesting facts for betting
Oklahoma has won its last three games against Phoenix and is looking to continue the streak. The Thunder are playing very confidently against the Suns.
Tentative line-up : Williams - Joe, Gilgeous-Alexander - Dort, Wallace.
Current form
Phoenix played its last game without Kevin Durant. The absence of the leader affected the Suns' performance. They were unable to give Sacramento a fight, losing with a score of 104:127. Even 25 points from Josh Okogie did not help the team from Arizona.
Despite the latest setback, Phoenix retained third place in the West. They have a two-win lead over fourth-place Denver, so another setback won't affect the team position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Will not play: Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal.
Interesting facts for betting
In Oklahoma City, Phoenix lost 3 of 4 games. Roster problems do not provide many opportunities for the guests from Arizona.
Probable lineup : Nurkic - Booker, Jones - O'Neal, Dunn.

In 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings, more than 55 points were scored in the first quarter
1.87Tip and bets
Phoenix continues to go through difficult times. Bradley Beal has been added to the absence of Durant. Without two key players, it will be very problematic to give the Thunder a fight. We believe that the Suns will not succeed. The hosts will win easily.
Our prediction is Oklahoma with a handicap of (-6.5) points at 1.75
Bet on total
The "solar" have been acting very uncertainly in defense lately. All this increases the probability of a high outcome of the match. We believe that the opponents will beat the overall total.
Forecast - total over 224.5 points for 1.65
Bet on statistics
Booker hasn't been impressive in scoring lately, but the absence of Durant and Beal should give him a free hand. In that case, we expect to see a productive game from the Suns' leader.
Prediction - Devin Booker: Total over 24.5 points at 1.78
