Phoenix at Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City is learning a new system under first-year coach Billy Donovan. They Thunder are losers of three in a row and are on a 1-4 spread run, 1-6 ATS following a loss. Oklahoma City was outscored 12-1 down the stretch in a 103-98 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday and failed to get the stops it needed on defense late in a 104-98 loss at Chicago the next night. Thunder center Steven Adams (back) left Thursday’s game and is day-to-day. Oklahoma City is 7-18-1 ATS playing on two days rest and faces a fine Phoenix squad that is 11th in the NBA in points allowed. The Suns are on a 3-2 SU/4-1 ATS run, 4-1 ATS on the road, and 4-0 against the Western Conference. Phoenix is also 18-8 ATS in Sunday get-away games. When these Western rivals meet, the Suns are 5-2 ATS and the dog is 6-1 ATS. Play Phoenix.
