PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns (43-30) are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-22) in yet another massive game down the stretch run for Frank Vogel's squad.

This is the final time the two teams are scheduled to face off in the regular season - Phoenix is looking to avoid being swept by the Thunder in the 2023-24 season after dropping the first two games between the teams.

The Thunder are likely to be without All-NBA G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this evening as he was given a doubtful designation from the team last night with a quad injury.

The Suns are coming off a shocking victory over the Denver Nuggets on the road - they are only one of two teams to enjoy multiple victories in Denver this season - along with OKC.

The Thunder dropped the last game in their schedule to the red-hot Houston Rockets, so this is a very attainable game for Phoenix if the Suns lock in from tip off onward.

Let's take a look at how key Thunder players have fared over the last ten games:

Jalen Williams: 19.7 PPG, 4.9 APG, 1.2 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 51.8/35.1/87%

Josh Giddey: 16.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 4.9 APG, 54/38.6/71.4%

Chet Holmgren: 14 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 1.7 BPG, 48.2/27.9/88%

Luguentz Dort: 10.5 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.8 APG, 43/34/100%

The Suns and Vogel need to make Williams the focal point of the defensive game plan today - Williams has averaged 26.5 PPG in the two previous meetings between the squads this season.

Suns-Thunder is set to tip-off shortly after 5 P.M. Arizona time.
