uick Game Preview
The Phoenix Suns walk into Sunday's matchup having won their last four games. A fifth consecutive win would mark the first time since late November where the team matched that total. The Suns (42-35) currently have a 1.5 game lead over the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.
Playing host to them are the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have alternated wins/losses the last five games. The Thunder currently cling to the West's No. 10 seed, holding a full game lead over the Dallas Mavericks for the final spot in the play-in tournament.
Phoenix's top five defense (111.5 ppg) hopes to slow down Oklahoma City's equally top five offense that averages 117.4 points per night.
The Thunder are led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is fourth in scoring per night with 31.4 points averaged per game. He's also top five in steals with 1.7 per night as well.
In their loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday, seven of the nine players who took the floor for OKC scored 12 points or more.
Kevin Durant seems to have gotten back to his old self after a shaky return from his ankle injury, scoring 30 points to improve the Suns to 5-0 when he's in the lineup.
