Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #55 Preview: Phoenix Suns
The Oklahoma City Thunder avoided a third consecutive loss on Monday as Jalen Williams led them to a 119-110 victory over the Lakers in Los Angeles. Now the Thunder plays the first game of a back-to-back, taking on the Suns in Phoenix.

Jalen Williams came alive in the fourth quarter on Monday against the Lakers to fuel the Thunder to a solid win, and I think he picks up tonight where he left off. With SGA still out, Williams will need to shoulder more of the offensive load, but he has help coming from Chet Holmgren, who has played well against the Suns this season (21.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG on 67.6% FG and 57.1% 3P in 3 meetings). Isaiah Hartenstein has yet to play against the Suns this season, so he will add another dynamic as he continues to increase his minutes after returning from injury. Taking all of this into account, plus the fact that the Suns just played last night, I’m taking OKC to cover.

Now the Thunder travels to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers, who are also missing their best scorer, Luka Doncic. On the bright side, OKC is getting Jalen Williams back in the lineup after missing 10 games due to a strained hamstring. Williams could be playing with a minutes restriction, but it makes sense that the Thunder would not let him return without being confident in his health, as they are in no rush to return players, especially at further risk of injury.

The Lakers have been pretty unimpressive for a while now, but they are currently riding a 3-game win streak. OKC has lost two in a row, and I don’t see them losing a third consecutive game. OKC is missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but the Lakers are without Luka Doncic. Plus, Jalen Williams is back in action after missing the last 10 games. I like OKC’s tenacity as the key to this one, so I won’t be surprised if the Thunder wins by double digits.
