In this story:

Oklahoma City hits the road for its final road stand of the year. A three-game trip all against Western Conference bottom feeders who have seen their seaosns derail for one reason or another.

The Thunder are in the Valley for a meeting with the Suns, with each side on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Oklahoma City earned an emotional win against the Los Angeles Lakers while the Suns fell to the Golden State Warriors 24 hours earlier.

OKC has the No. 1 seed in the West wrapped up and are a win away over the next three from clinching the top record in the NBA. This would grant them home court advantage throughout the NBA Finals, should the Thunder make a run.

In tonight's game, with the stakes low, the Thunder are resting more than a few of its rotational pieces. Though, its dynamic duo from the 2022 NBA Draft class –– Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren –– remain in the fold, as does veteran Alex Caruso, noteworthy absences from the injury report.

The Suns only have two players listed, but both are important to Phoenix. Kevin Durant remains sidelined as he is now ineligible from postseason awards and Nick Richards will be in street clothes as well.
