Phoenix at Oklahoma City

We are not sure if there is any amount of points that could put value on the Sonics of late. This is a team that has endured losing streaks of six, eight and 14 games already this season. Once again they are amidst another lengthy slide as their bad play has led to another 8-game losing streak. They have hit new heights of futility, dropping their last game to Denver by 52 points, allowing 168 points. We were on the Nuggs then and we will fade Seattle again tonight. They have shown no sign of improvement over the course of the season, and in fact may be regressing. They lost 12 games by double digits before the New Year. Since then they have lost 16 more! That is 28 games lost by double-digits already on the season. While they struggled to integrate Shaq at first, Phoenix has finally learned how to play with him and they are now stronger. They have won and covered five straight by an average margin of 15.4 ppg. Their last three trips on the road to teams with a losing record have resulted in blow-out wins. The Sonics are 7-17 ATS at home in post All-Star play since last season and 9-19 ATS this season off a road loss. We expect them to fall and fall hard here against the Suns.
