Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 38-32.
Phoenix is coming off a valuable 116-113 home win over the Orlando Magic, a celebration that ended the team’s three-game losing streak. At home, the Arizona natives are strong with a 23-12 record. However, on the road, they have a negative 15-20 record. In the last game away from their home court, they fell miserably to the Golden State Warriors 112-123.
The visiting team’s strong suit is undoubtedly its defense. Allowing only 111.4 points, it is the fourth-best franchise in this category. The Suns will face the tenth-worst defensive team, as Oklahoma concedes 116.3 points per game, a difference that could tilt the results of the game in favor of the visiting team.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 34-36.
With a 21-15 record, the Thunder owns the sixth-worst home record in the Western Conference. However, out of the last five challenges in front of his home crowd, the team came out on top in four of them. In their last presentation, the Thunder won against the Brooklyn Nets by 121-107 in a Paycom Center full of spectators.
Unlike their contender, the team coached by Mark Daigneault stands out for its offensive power. So far this regular season, they average 117.8 points per challenge and are only surpassed by the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors.
Moreover, the home team has one of the five best players in this edition of the NBA. We are talking about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is credited with an average of 31.3 points per game. The point guard has averaged 32 points in his last two games, a figure that encourages betting on a high personal scoring from Shaiin this Suns vs Thunder game.
JefeBet Prediction
Oklahoma is the 10th worst franchise in defense by allowing 116.3 points per contest. Of course, the team makes up for these shortcomings with its explosive offense. Phoenix, on the other hand, although it has one of the best defenses in this tournament, does not stand out for its scoring.
Taking into account this information, and the positive streak that the home team carries with it, at JefeBet, we predict that the home team will get away with a victory in this long-awaited Suns vs Thunder.
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder Spread and Over (PHO 115-127 OKL).
