My Bonus Play for Monday night is in the NBA, as I love the Oklahoma City Thunder to take care of the Phoenix Suns with this cheap line on the game.
My 3-year-old niece can tell you the Suns have been struggling because of their defense, and when you go into a town like Oklahoma City to face a team like the Thunder, it just doesn't bode well.
The Suns allow 114.4 points per game, and that number swells to 119 while ordering room service. When you factor in Phoenix averaging just 98 points per game in its last five, it's easy to see where this game is headed.
These two met in OKC on Oct. 28, when the Thunder pulled off a 117-110 victory. It's part of a 1-10 slide the Suns are endured in since a 121-100 season-opening win against Dallas. The Suns have allowed triple digits in every game this season, and they have the worst scoring offense in the league.
Oklahoma City, which has covered six of its last seven games, will be looking to avenge a 111-96 loss at Dallas, which snapped a seven-game win streak that started with the win over the Suns and included a 98-80 victory over the Houston Rockets.
The Thunder average 109 points per contest, but that number climbs to 113.3 at home.
Lay the chalk, as Oklahoma City lays a smack down on the Suns.
1* THUNDER
