Game summary

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns comes around in the NBA regular season on Monday 26 October 2026, and our model leans to a Phoenix Suns win while seeing the total points below the league average.

Why this pick?

Our model takes the Phoenix Suns to win, and the main reason is what Oklahoma City is missing: Chet Holmgren is Out, with Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace also Out, which thins the players available to the team rated first of 30. The Thunder are also on the second night of a back-to-back. Against that, Oklahoma City are clearly the stronger side on our ratings and play at home, where they are 2‑0. The pick still holds because those absences and the tired legs weigh more than the gap in strength and home court. It is a narrow call.

Total points: Our model sees the total below the league average: Phoenix play at the slowest pace in the NBA and Oklahoma City sit 20th of 30, so possessions should be fewer, and both teams' points per possession are lower than typical. The absences lift scoring only slightly.
