Records:
Phoenix: 51-27 SU, 45-31-2 ATS
Oklahoma City: 48-30 SU, 46-32 ATS

Tonight, 8:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Thunder -4

Is this an opening-round playoff preview? Maybe. The Suns could easily finish third and the Thunder could wind up sixth. Phoenix arguably has more at stake tonight since it’s fighting Utah tooth and nail for home-court and a seeding of fourth or higher. History certainly favors the Suns, as they’ve won 11 of 12 overall and five straight at Oklahoma City.

Against the spread the Suns look like a pretty strong pick tonight. In addition to motivation for home court, they’ve beaten four of their last five spreads. The underdog is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 Suns/Thunder matchups as well. Most importantly, Oklahoma City may be burnt out tonight. It’s playing its third game in four nights and the first two games of that stretch were emotionally draining. On Tuesday, OC fell 140-139 to Utah in overtime; on Wednesday, it lost 98-94 at home to Denver. The Suns, on the other hand, have played just once this week, cruising to an 11-point win over San Antonio.

Fresher team…more to play for…what’s not to like about Phoenix tonight?
