LiontipsOklahoma — Phoenix. Forecast and bets for the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
After losing to Golden State, the Thunder managed to score two wins. It seems that Deinolly's wards have taken into account their mistakes and no longer allow this. First, Oklahoma defeated Sacramento (144:110), and then Milwaukee had no chance (125:96).
In the last match in the Thunder, Shy Gilges-Alexander was the best. The Canadian once again demonstrated his high class and scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Osman Dieng actively helped him in this. The Frenchman scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
They won 't play: Chet Holmgren, Nikola Topic.
Interesting facts for betting
Oklahoma continues to be the best home team in the Eastern Conference. The Thunderbolts have suffered only two defeats at home this season.
Approximate composition: Hartenstein–Gilges-Alexander, Dort–Williams, Wiggins.
Current form
Phoenix is not playing its last away matches in the best way. The Arizona team is losing too much. For example, in recent matches, the Suns have lost twice to Portland. They lost the first match with a score of 108:127, and the second - 119-121.
Even a successful performance by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker doesn't help Phoenix much. In the last match, for example, this tandem scored 61 points, but it did not bring dividends to the team. The Suns coach needs to change his tactics, as they are not successful right now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Phoenix has no personnel problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Phoenix is one of the worst away teams in the Western Conference. This season, the Suns have won 15 out of 25 matches on the road.
Approximate line-up: Richards –Booker, Jones–Durant, Dunn.

1.80Tip and bets
It is unlikely that such a Phoenix will be able to impose a fight on Oklahoma now. The Suns are too dependent on Booker and Durant's actions. If you cut off their oxygen supply, the performance of the Suns will decrease significantly.
Oklahoma has been looking a lot better than its opponent lately. The Thunder beat the Kings and Bucks too easily. They shouldn't have any problems with such an opponent at home.
Our forecast is for Oklahoma with a handicap of (-10.5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
The "Suns" are too unstable now and don't always show a bright game. Considering this, we doubt that the meeting with Oklahoma will be successful.
The forecast is a total of less than 230.5 points for 1.65
Betting on statistics
In only 1 of the last 6 matches, Dort scored 20 points. In other matches, his performance was significantly lower. Lugenz is unlikely to play better.
Prediction — Lugenz Dort: total less than 13.5 points in 1.78
