OKC Thunder vs Phoenix Suns: Prediction, picks, injury updates and odds

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Phoenix Suns on Friday in an NBA Cup group game, and if you're wondering how you can watch the action live, you've come to the right place.

The Thunder (10-2) continue their season-long six-game homestand. They've won two in a row since Chet Holmgren suffered a hip fracture. Last time, they dominated the depleted New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Suns (9-3) have had a hot start but have suffered through notable injuries. They had a blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. This will be OKC's first West Group B game as the NBA Cup started this week.

Suns vs. Thunder predictions, picks, odds

Thunder 113, Suns 109: What could've been a matchup of two of the best teams has been ruined. Injuries to Durant, Holmgren and Beal zapped out all of the excitement of this NBA Cup group game. Instead, it'll be a classic matchup of ex-Kentucky guards Gilgeous-Alexander and Booker. The Thunder should collect a close win thanks to being a deeper team.

ODDS: Thunder by 7.5 points

O/U: 225.5
