Updated Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Odds
Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Kevin Durant won’t make his debut on Friday. That has already been announced, as he recovers from the MCL sprain he suffered during what was otherwise an MVP campaign with the Nets.
While fans in Phoenix wait another day for KD to make his Suns debut, the Thunder are in town and shouldn’t pose much of a problem. OKC currently holds a top-10 seed out West, but my money is on them falling out of play-in contention over the next few weeks.
What’s the Pick?
With that in mind, Phoenix is the play both straight up and against the spread.
By and large, you don’t have to over thinking this one, even with the Suns shorthanded Friday night.
