Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 41-35
The Suns are on a roll. They have secured their fourth place in the Western Conference attaining four victories in a row, including an incredible win at home against the conference leader, the Denver Nuggets, last Friday. However, now they will also have to prove that they can maintain that level away from home. Although they defeated the Utah Jazz 117-103 in their most recent appearance away, they have a 15-20 record playing in that condition.
The Suns’ defense has been their Achilles heel on the road this season, allowing an average of 113.6 points per game. Meanwhile, at home, the team averages 109.7 points per game. However, with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant leading their offense, they could have the power to overcome this.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 38-40
The Thunder is ready to bounce back after suffering a painful defeat against the shorthanded Indiana Pacers in their last game. They lost by a score of 117-121, giving up the fourth quarter by 23-31. Shai Gilgeous Alexander had another stunning performance with 39 points, 4 assists, and 9 rebounds, while Josh Giddey contributed with 21 points.
The Thunder have lost four times in their last six games,but they’re still in the play-in zone. However, they’re only half a game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks, which are in 11th place. So, if they want to avoid a disappointing end to the season, they need must get back in shape quickly.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their recent results, the Thunder remains one of the best offensive teams in the league, especially when playing at home, where they average around 121.1 points scored per game. This means they will surely give the Suns a tough time, more so if they struggle defensively away from home.
However, the Thunder is not exactly a defensive powerhouse. On the contrary, they tend to be quite lenient on their side of the court, currently averaging about 116.4 points allowed per game. They will need to improve in this area if they don’t want to suffer against Durant and Booker.
Both teams are in dire need of a win, which is why we expect them to come out strong from the get-go and unleash their best offensive firepower. The thunder have covered the Over in 23 out of 36 home games this season, so considering the offensive talent of both teams, we anticipate that trend to continue and witness a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Moneyline and Over (PHO 126 -121 OKL).
