The Phoenix Suns will tip off against reigning champions Oklahoma City Thunder in an Emirates NBA Cup match on Friday, November 28.
The Suns (12-7) are coming off an NBA Cup win against the Sacramento Kings and remain undefeated in season play.
The Thunder (18-1) have been on a warpath this season, showing the league they are ready to make a run of back-to-back titles. They have won their last ten games in a row.
On the injury front, OKC’s Jalen Williams sat out Wednesday’s win against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a wrist injury. He is an in-game decision to play against the Suns. Aaron Wiggins (thigh) and Nikola Topic (testicular cancer) are out, while Thomas Sorber is expected to miss the entire season with a torn ACL in his right knee.
For Phoenix, Jalen Green remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury that has kept him out of all but five quarters this season. Grayson Allen (quad) and Ryan Dunn (wrist) are listed as playing time decisions.

Suns vs thunder forecast
Although both teams are sitting at an undefeated 3-0 mark in the NBA Cup, the Suns are the clear underdogs.
OKC is once again the favorite to win a championship. They have lost just once all season in Friday’s NBA Cup showdown with Phoenix and are 9-0 at home.
This would be a huge shock if the Suns can win, considering OKC’s home record, overall record and NBA Cup implications.
Maybe they can count on the Thunder coming out slow after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Prediction: Thunder win 119-102
