Suns vs. Thunder Prediction
Tonight’s NBA Cup action features two of the league’s top teams, but the Phoenix Suns face a significant disadvantage with both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal ruled out. This leaves the burden of carrying the offense squarely on Devin Booker’s shoulders. While Booker is an elite scorer, he’ll face stiff resistance from OKC’s perimeter defenders, Luguentz Dort and Jalen Williams, who excel at limiting opposing stars.
On the other side, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear this season and has historically dominated the Suns. He’s scored 30+ points in five consecutive matchups against Phoenix, and should be in line for another big performance tonight. With Chet Holmgren also sidelined, the Thunder will continue to lean on SGA’s scoring ability to lead the way.
The Thunder’s home crowd will add to their edge, creating a playoff-like atmosphere that could overwhelm the injury-plagued Suns. Phoenix’s reliance on Booker against one of the league’s best defensive units makes this a tough matchup for them, even with their impressive start to the season.

With Durant and Beal out, the Suns will struggle to keep up offensively against a stout Thunder defense. Combine that with SGA’s dominance over Phoenix and the electric home crowd, and OKC looks poised to cover the -7.5 spread.
