Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/04/26

The Phoenix Suns will try to take their shot Sunday night towards being the sixth team to be able to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder this season. The Suns have a record of 20-14, and they are 11-5 on their home floor. Phoenix has won five of their last six games, including their last win over the Sacramento Kings 129-102. Devin Booker led the team in scoring with 33 points. Booker got off to a fast start with 20 of those points coming in the 1st quarter. The Thunder have a record of 30-5 this season, and they are 13-3 when playing on the road. Oklahoma City has won their last four games, with their last win coming against the Golden State Warriors 131-94. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder in scoring with 30 points. The Thunder’s offense shot 52% from the field and 42% from three in the blowout victory.

This will be the third time this season the Thunder and Suns have played against one another. The Thunder defeated the Suns in both previous games. Oklahoma City won 123-119 on November 28th, and then they embarrassed the Suns 138-89 on December 10th. The 49-point loss is the largest margin of defeat in the Suns’ franchise history. The Thunder shot 59% from the field and 54% from three point range in the onslaught. The Suns will be looking forward to avenging the embarrassing loss, and if they want to compete, it will need to start on the defensive end. The Suns rank 10th in the NBA in defensive rating this season, and they are first in the NBA in steals at 10.8 per game. The Thunder will be without center Isaiah Hartenstein and forward Jaylin Williams, making the focus of this game more on the guards. Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks have the talent to compete with the Thunders’ backcourt, especially on their home court. I expect a competitive effort from the Suns tonight.
