Stephen Curry is averaging 4.3 triples per game this season, but he’s failed to knock down five or more in any of his last four outings. Fortunately, he hit at least four in three of those games, and tonight's matchup against the Suns is an excellent spot for the Chef to cook. The Suns have allowed the eighth-highest 3-point percentage to opponents on the road at 37.6%, and Curry has averaged 4.5 triples per game across his last four home matchups with Phoenix.

When it comes to scoring, the Suns's terrific 121.2 points per game comes in as the 7th-best in the NBA over the last 5 games.. The matchup vs. Golden State is a good one for shot attempts from the field; when the Golden State Warriors are on their home court, opposing starting PFs have averaged the 2nd-most field goal attempts per game in the league this year (15.8).. The Suns have played at the 7th-speediest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games.. The Phoenix Suns are expected to see a spike in opportunities today from squaring off against the 10th-fastest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Warriors).

That leaves James Harden to shoulder most of the scoring burden against the NBA’s best perimeter-defending unit. 

The Thunder’s rest advantage, depth, and solid ball control make them the side to back tonight.

This year when they are on the road, the opposing team's starting PFs have totaled 0.9 3-pointers per game (fewest in the NBA) against the LA Clippers, identifying this as a challenging matchup.. The Thunder have played at the 7th-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games.. The LA Clippers have played at the least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Thunder.. As a team, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been lousy at getting to the charity stripe in recent days: 2nd-worst in the NBA over the last 5 games with a mere 19.2 free throws per game.
