Randy’s Pick
The Oklahoma City Thunder are super talented and pack value in the underdog role, but they've been a bit underwhelming up to this point, and I'm not all that impressed. The Phoenix Suns are still down Booker and Gordon is questionable, but this is as healthy as they've been all year with the return of Beal. Durant has scoring help, and it feels like the Suns are due for a home win after losing 3 straight. We're only laying a bucket. Give me the Suns.
