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.
Prediction: Thunder 116, Suns 103
