It’s Wednesday, February 5, and the Phoenix Suns (25-24) and Oklahoma City Thunder (39-9) are all set to square off from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
Are the Suns trading for Jimmy Butler or are they trading away Kevin Durant? Both? Neither? Regardless, the task for Phoenix tonight is a difficult one as they take the court against the top team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant (ankle) is not slated to dress for Phoenix. The Suns are looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses in Portland to the Trail Blazers. OKC has won two straight and three of their last four. The Thunder blasted the Bucks, 125-96, at home Monday night.
The Suns are currently 10-15 on the road with a point differential of -1, while the Thunder have a 9-1 record in their last ten games at home.
