Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns: Current situation
With teams around them making desperate moves to try and challenge for the NBA championship, the OKC Thunder aren’t expected to make any moves before Thursday’s deadline. It’s been smooth sailing for SGA and co. lately, they are 16-4 SU over their last 20 games and have covered the spread 12 times in 18 outings. At home only one team has beaten the Thunder in their last 12 games.
There’s a lot of uncertainty around the Phoenix Suns these days. Speculation around best player Kevin Durant being shopped around is intensifying as we get closer to Thursday’s deadline. Phoenix is desperate to make a move that will make them an instant threat in the Western Conference. Jimmy Butler is one of the names mentioned that could come, but nothing has materialized yet. As things stand the Suns are only 10th in the West, tied with the Warriors at 25-24.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
In their latest win over the Bucks, the OKC players didn’t exert too much energy as Milwaukee came to town waving the white flag and resting both their superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. OKC won by 29 points, despite scoring just 9 in the final 12 mins of play. The most minutes for a starter in the game was 26 by Aaron Wiggins, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 34 in only 22 minutes of play.
Phoenix Suns Stats & Form
Despite getting 34 points from Devin Booker, 27 from Kevin Durant and 25 from Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns fell on the road in Portland to the Blazers 121-119 on Monday. To make matters worse the game went into overtime and their big 3 logged heavy minutes which could have a negative impact on Wednesday’s game vs OKC. After the loss the Suns have fallen to 6-4 SU over their last 10 games.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns: Head-to-Head
The edge in head-to-head meetings goes to the OKC Thunder who are 6-4 SU and 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 games vs Phoenix. OKC swept the regular season series last year 3-0, winning it for the first time since the 2019-20 season. If they can win again on Wednesday they’ll clinch the season series yet again, as there’s just one more game between the two teams after this one.

Betting tip and prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns (05.02.2025)
Anything but a big win for Oklahoma City would be a huge surprise here. The Suns form has been up and down lately, their wins are coming mostly against sub-par opponents, while the games against better teams they just aren’t able to win. With speculation around Kevin Durant increasing as we approach the trade deadline, it’s quite possible that he might not even be in this game as a Phoenix Sun. Oklahoma City remains the best defensive team in the league – opponents are making just 30.6% of their threes against them in the last 3 games. That should be enough to stop the likes of KD, Booker and Beal here who will be the main threats around the perimeter. The last 3 wins for OKC have been by 10 or more points, they have the most blowout wins in the NBA this season. On top of that they’ve already beaten the Suns 99-83 in the first meeting back in mid-November, holding Devin Booker to just 12 points on 2-for-10 from the field. The inside outside game for Oklahoma City is just too good here, plus Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on a mission to win his first regular season MVP award. He had 28 points in the first meeting, it’s hard to imagine the Suns slowing him down here. Let’s back Oklahoma City to cover.
