Maybe. The Suns could easily finish third and the Thunder could wind up sixth. Phoenix arguably has more at stake tonight since it\u2019s fighting Utah tooth and nail for home-court and a seeding of fourth or higher. History certainly favors the Suns, as they\u2019ve won 11 of 12 overall and five straight at Oklahoma City.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/book_basketball_260_180_0.gif?cmpid=3052_1355\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Against the spread the Suns look like a pretty strong pick tonight. In addition to motivation for home court, they\u2019ve beaten four of their last five spreads. The underdog is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 Suns\/Thunder matchups as well. Most importantly, Oklahoma City may be burnt out tonight. It\u2019s playing its third game in four nights and the first two games of that stretch were emotionally draining. On Tuesday, OC fell 140-139 to Utah in overtime; on Wednesday, it lost 98-94 at home to Denver. The Suns, on the other hand, have played just once this week, cruising to an 11-point win over San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>Fresher team&#8230;more to play for&#8230;what\u2019s not to like about Phoenix tonight?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total has gone OVER in 5 of Oklahoma City&#8217;s last 6 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Oklahoma City&#8217;s last 5 games when playing Phoenix<br \/>\nOklahoma City is 13-4 SU in its last 17 games at home<br \/>\nPhoenix is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Oklahoma City<br \/>\nPhoenix is 11-1 SU in its last 12 games<br \/>\nPhoenix is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games when playing Oklahoma City<br \/>\nPhoenix is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 15 of Oklahoma City&#8217;s last 20 games when playing at home against Phoenix<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suns vs. Thunder Free NBA Pick:  Suns +4<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\">CLICK HERE NOW TO BET AT BOOKMAKER.COM &#8211; THE #1 SITE ONLINE FOR NBA BASKETBALL BETTING ODDS AND GAMBLING PROMOTIONS!!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports.
