Predictions & Best Bets for OKC Thunder vs PHX Suns Game 4

• The OKC Thunder are one win away from sweeping the Phoenix Suns in NBA postseason play
• I dive into the trends and betting odds for this potential series closeout game
• My favorite player prop features reigning NBA Finals MVP Shai-Gilgeous Alexander

Three games into their first round series against the best team in basketball, the Phoenix Suns are on the brink of elimination. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won each game by at least twelve points, and are installed as favorites yet again in the NBA odds.

This tilt features an elite battle between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Devin Booker with Phoenix up against a buzzsaw as they fight to stave off elimination. The game tips off Monday, at 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET at the Mortgage Matchup Center, broadcast nationally on Peacock and NBC Sports in the USA and TSN in Canada.

Thunder vs Suns Prediction and Best Bets

When evaluating the 10.5-point spread on bet365, the situational trends point heavily toward the road favorites covering this massive number. The Suns are a dismal 2-7 ATS against opponents with a winning record over their last nine games, and just 1-4 ATS in their last five overall.

Conversely, OKC is a profitable 3-1 ATS on the road over their last four. Additionally, in nine of their last twelve Thunder vs Suns battles, Oklahoma City have covered the listed spread.

Spread Pick: Thunder -10.5 (-110 at bet365)

While playoff basketball often slows down in elimination tilts, the trends suggest a higher-scoring track than the 213.5 total indicates. The Over has hit in four of OKC’s last five games as a favorite, and four of five on the road. The Over is also cashing in three of Phoenix’s last four games following a loss. With both squads consistently eclipsing the projected total in these situational spots, I am hammering the Over.

Total Pick: Over 213.5 (-110 at DraftKings)

I have a massive edge targeting the presumptive NBA MVP odds winner. With DraftKings hanging -115 odds on Gilgeous-Alexander to clear 31.5 points, the value is undeniable. Given his staggering usage rate, he is primed to carry the scoring load in this close-out game.

Twice in this series, SGA has put up 42 and 37 points, and he’s reached the 32+ point benchmark in nine of his last 13 against the Suns.

Best Player Prop Edge: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-115 at DraftKings)

Thunder vs Suns Playoff Statistical Breakdown

Thunder vs Suns Injury Report

The most consequential injury news stems from the visitors’ locker room. Starting two-way standout Jalen Williams is officially out, continuing to nurse a hamstring strain. His absence creates a significant void in the offense, forcing Gilgeous-Alexander to shoulder the load, which directly feeding into my confidence in his points prop.

On the other side of the floor, Center Mark Williams is out with a foot injury after missing the entire series. Without his rim protection, Phoenix has been relentlessly bullied on the glass. Backup point guard Jordan Goodwin is questionable, limiting the fresh defensive legs they can throw at the perimeter.
