Someone will test the Oklahoma City Thunder eventually, but it will not be the Phoenix Suns in this first round. The Game 1 rout was too convincing to allow for any lingering Phoenix hope, not even in Game 2.
This same-game parlay for our Suns vs. Thunder predictions knows Dillon Brooks will not give up hope until it is too late, creating value on Wednesday, April 22.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will emphasize taking the ball out of Booker’s hands. He is a pure enough scorer that he could, for one night, keep up with Oklahoma City on his own.
That puts the ball into Brooks’s or Green’s hands. Green may be the better player with the brighter future, but Brooks will never shy away from a moment, certainly not one when he is out-gunned. There is a reason he led Phoenix with 22 shots in Game 1, making six of them to notch 18 points.
Do not expect efficiency from Brooks. Do not expect hope for the Suns. But do expect Brooks to shoot enough to clear this prop, even if his many missed shots cost Phoenix’s offense too much to help chase this total.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.
In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.
While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
