Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Oklahoma City Thunder gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes should be on Ajay Mitchell, particularly for his points total. Playing at home, Mitchell has been a scoring machine, averaging 10.8 points in his last five games on familiar turf. His chemistry with the home crowd is evident, and with a remarkable hit rate of 15 out of his last 17 home games, the confidence is palpable. While he's averaged 9.4 points overall recently, it's his matchup against the Suns that makes this intriguing-though he's averaged only 5.3 points against them at home, Mitchell's expected stat value for this game jumps to 13.68. Given his current form and the Thunder's need for offensive firepower, expecting him to eclipse the 9.5 mark feels not just reasonable but likely. Bet on Mitchell to shine brightly this Sunday!

Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) Over 16.5 Points (+104)

Dillon Brooks is primed for a standout performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In his last five games, he's averaged around 16.6 points, but what's impressive is his ability to elevate his game against the Thunder, where he's putting up 18.8 points on average against them recently. Even more telling are his away numbers; while he's averaged 12 points overall in his last five road games, his history against Oklahoma City shows he's capable of more, with an average of 17.2 points in their battles.Given that Brooks has hit the over on this line in 11 of his last 19 outings, the numbers are leaning in his favor. With an expected stat value of nearly 20 points, it's hard to ignore the potential for him to exceed the 16.5 mark on Sunday night. Look for Brooks to rise to the occasion; this could be one of those games where he truly shines.

Jordan Goodwin (Phoenix Suns) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-130)

As the Suns face off against the Thunder, all eyes will be on Jordan Goodwin, but it might be wise to bet against his rebounding prowess in this matchup. Goodwin has averaged just 5 boards over his last five games and, when playing away, that dips to 5 per contest. Against the Thunder, he's managed only 4 rebounds recently, and even less, at 3.8, when playing in hostile territory. What's more, his hit rate tells a compelling story-he's gone under 5.5 rebounds in 6 of his last 8 outings and has excelled on the road with an impressive 12 out of 16 games hitting the under. The numbers indicate that, in this high-paced matchup, he might struggle to keep up with the Thunder's rebounding efforts. So, taking the under on Goodwin at 5.5 rebounds seems to be a savvy move as the Suns look to find their rhythm on the road.
