Thunder vs Suns predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 119, Phoenix 106
Phoenix is a tough team that won’t beat itself, but OKC doesn’t need it to. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, one of the league’s most unguardable scorers, is available after a one-game absence due to left elbow bursitis. So are two elite defenders in Alex Caruso and Lu Dort, who’ll make life difficult for Devin Booker. And even Jalen Williams is back after he didn’t suit up for the group play meeting between these two teams. The Thunder is simply too stacked on both ends of the floor, and it’ll book its ticket to the semifinals with a win on Wednesday.
