The Thunder continue to battle for one of the play-in spots in a crowded and tightly contested lower zone of the Western Conference, as they are thirteenth in the standings, but are only 0.5 games away from their goal and only 3.5 games behind. sixth ranked.
However, improving their position will not be an easy task for the Thunder this time, since they will not only be facing a great team like the Phoenix Suns, to whom they recently lost, but also their performance away from home leaves much to be desired. want, arriving here with an unappealing 11-19 record in that condition.
Not only is the Thunder’s record on the road pretty bad, but so are their numbers, especially on their side of the court, given that while they average 115.5 points scored per game, his defense has not been able to support this performance and he has left a poor average of 118.2 points allowed.

For their part, the Suns are on a very good path and with Kevin Durant’s return to action, things can only get better for them. The Suns arrive here with three consecutive victories behind them, all away from home, which allowed them to establish themselves in fourth place in the West, although already 10.0 games away from their main objective, the top.
The most recent of the Suns victories came in an intense game against the Dallas Mavericks, in which Durant and Devin Booker had great performances to overcome Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic by a score of 130-126, scoring 37 and 36 points. , respectively.
Continuing this winning streak seems to be a more than feasible mission, considering that at home they have shown excellent performance so far this season, with a 25-10 record and a terrific defense averaging 109.5 points allowed. Plus, his average of 113.8 points scored is sure to rise with Durant on the floor.
JefeBet Forecast
The Thunder will be able to count here on the presence of a Gilgeous-Alexander who has suffered some physical problems recently, however, it will not be easy at all against the Suns who own one of the best defenses in the league.
As if that weren’t enough of a concern, the Thunder will also have to try to keep at bay a local offense that with the addition of Durant has become one of the most dangerous in the league, especially if they have to face a very poor defense. like the Thunder.
The Suns have shown a great level in the last week, so I hope that in this clash they will be able to take advantage of the Thunder’s shortcomings in defense to impose their rhythm and take a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Spread de los Phoenix Suns (OKL 110-123 PHO).
