The set-up: I'm expecting a wide open shootout in this one. OKC will be eager to get back on track after a 113-109 road loss in Houston on X-Mas Day. Phoenix on the other hand will be looking to keep the momentum roling after its 122-120 OT win over Orlando on Wednesday. The Suns play with revenge today as well after a 110-100 loss to the Thunder here on November 17th. The Thunder average 111.9 PPG and they allow 105.8. The Suns average 105.1 PPG and they allow 113.6. The Suns have been getting healthier and they've been playing lot better of late and there's no reason not to think that they can't carry that momentum over here.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but OKC has seen the total go "over" the number in 12 of 20 vs. teams with losing records already this season, while Phoenix has seen the total go "over" in 15 of its last 21 off an upset win as a road dog. This number is low, play the "over."

10* play
