Oklahoma City enters this matchup riding a four&#8209;game winning streak and holding the best record in the league, while Phoenix has been competitive but inconsistent, especially when facing elite opponents. Oddsmakers have the Thunder as solid 8&#8209;point favorites, with the total set at 228.5.<\/p><p>Both teams have been trending toward higher&#8209;scoring games, combining to average nearly 238 points per contest. Oklahoma City has won both head&#8209;to&#8209;head meetings this season, and their elite defense paired with explosive scoring has made them one of the toughest matchups in the NBA.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Thunder vs Suns<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: Suns +8.5 (-110)<\/strong> Book: Best price at Fanduel<\/p><p>Our best bet for Thunder vs Suns is Suns +8.5. Phoenix has been one of the strongest ATS teams in the league (22&#8209;10&#8209;2), and they&rsquo;ve covered twice this season when catching 8+ points. The Suns also score 115.5 points per game &mdash; 8.4 more than the Thunder allow, giving them a realistic chance to stay within the number. Oklahoma City is elite, but Phoenix&rsquo;s recent 7&#8209;3 ATS stretch and strong home performance make +8.5 the sharper side.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same&#8209;Game Parlay Picks for Thunder vs Suns<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3&#8209;Leg SGP (Safer)<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leg 1:<\/strong> Suns +10.5 alt spread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 2:<\/strong> Shai Gilgeous&#8209;Alexander 28+ points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 3:<\/strong> Devin Booker 20+ points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combined odds: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"+350 (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+350<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>This SGP leans on both stars scoring while giving Phoenix extra cushion.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longshot SGP (+1100)<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leg 1:<\/strong> Thunder -8.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 2:<\/strong> SGA 35+ points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 3:<\/strong> Chet Holmgren 10+ rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>This longshot targets a Thunder cover with big nights from their two franchise cornerstones<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thunder vs Suns Odds &amp; Top Player Props<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Market<\/th><th>Phoenix Suns<\/th><th>OKC Thunder<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Money Line<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">+270<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">-350<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spread<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">+8.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">-8.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">O 228.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">O 228.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p><strong>Odds updated: January 4, 2026 &ndash; 4:30 PM ET.
