Suns vs. Thunder predictions, choices, odds

Thunder 113, Suns 109: What could have been a match between two of the best teams was ruined. Injuries to Durant, Holmgren and Beal ended all the excitement of this NBA Cup group play. Instead, it will be a classic matchup between ex-Kentucky guards Gilgeous-Alexander and Booker. The Thunder should get a close win thanks to being a deeper team.
