Pre-match view
Oklahoma City has the better team-level evidence at home, while Phoenix's scoring volatility and last season's win at Paycom Center are the strongest counterweights.
No player-level forecasts are included, so rotation uncertainty remains a real caveat.
Oklahoma City's home form and stronger recent scoring base give it the edge, but the unresolved health of Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace could reshape the Thunder rotation; Phoenix also has frontcourt availability questions and a potential perimeter boost from Luke Kennard's removal from the injury report.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
