The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Phoenix Suns on Friday. This is the first matchup of the season between the two squads. It also counts toward the 2025 NBA Cup West Group A standings.

The Thunder (18-1) have won 10 in a row. They beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 113-105 win on Wednesday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored an efficient 40 points while battling an illness. That victory also counted towards the NBA Cup.

Meanwhile, the Suns (12-7) collected a 112-100 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Devin Booker struggled with 19 points while Collin Gillespie and Mark Williams each scored 21 points.

Thunder 116, Suns 103: All momentum will be on OKC’s side. After a month, Williams is finally back. And a poetic twist, he will face the team where he initially injured his wrist last season. The NBA’s best team regains an All-NBA player. While there will be some rust to knock off, the pure adrenaline from his return should boost the Thunder to another double-digit win. Expect Gilgeous-Alexander to dominate and be happy that their second-best player is finally back.
