Suns vs Thunder ATS Pick: Suns -2
The Suns have been one of the most complicated teams for NBA predictions this season. A lot of their season does not make sense – they have the elite star power of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, but the team then struggles offensively in the fourth quarter.

In the last two games, the odd experience of this Suns season is only amplified. Beating the Nuggets was a big win as Durant scored 30 points while filling the stat sheet. However, in the previous game, Booker and Durant combined for 65 points in a 104-102 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, who were without star rookie Victor Wembanyama.
The NBA spread favors the Suns to win, which is a surprise given how good the Thunder have been at home with a 22-8 record. But the Thunder could be without their star player in Gilgeous-Alexander for the second straight game.
While other players can step up, as they did in the loss to the Rockets, the Suns have the star power to overcome that. They are also motivated to stay out of the Play-In Tournament. Those are two reasons why the Suns are favored and should be able to cover the spread against the Thunder.
Here’s a look at some NBA Lines and NBA Game Odds to consider!
Suns vs Thunder Over/Under Pick: Over 227½
The over/under for this game could be complicated for NBA picks because while both teams have the offensive talent to play a high-scoring game, the Suns have fallen short of that potential recently. Despite all of their offensive talent, they have hit the under in their last two games, only scoring 102 and 104 points. Furthermore, the Thunder could be without Gilgeous-Alexander, affecting their offense.
On the other hand, the Thunder have hit the over in their last two games, even without Gilgeous-Alexander playing, but that was helped out by going into overtime with the Rockets. The Suns have a high-scoring offense, forcing the Thunder to keep up on their home court and leading the game to going over.

Player Prop Pick: Kevin Durant Over 35.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-110)
After a game in which Durant just had 30 points, 13 rebounds and three assists, it is surprising that his prop betting lines are so low for this matchup. Taking him on his points total, which is set at 23.5, almost seems like a lock. This is a crucial game for the Suns, needing a win to stay out of the Play-In Tournament, and they will be facing the team that drafted Durant. Everything is lining up for another big game from Durant, which he should deliver on.

Questions Of The Day
Will the Suns be able to get the sixth seed?
The Suns need the sixth seed in the West to avoid the Play-In Tournament, but that seems unlikely since they are in a three-team race for the spot and have the most challenging remaining schedule.
Will the Thunder be able to finish on top of the West?
This is the first season the Thunder have been a playoff contender in a long time, and they are only a half-game back from the first seed. Given the team’s experience level, it might be hard for them to close it out as the No.1 seed, but they are still one of the top teams in the West.
