Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored Ahead of Defensive Matchup 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.
