Playing a Suns team full of old timers on the end of a long road trip, up against a young athletic team like the Thunder who have been blowing out teams at home of late.

I only thing I'm concerned is Kevin Durant... Eventhough he played last game with a superb performance, I think it will still be a factor specially on a hot SUNS in OKC court...Comment -
His fitness hinges the whole result and by these couple of reports things look goodOriginally posted by larry040681
Rotoworld haven't even listed him......
The Northwest Division-leading Thunder, meanwhile, won their second straight on Friday when Durant, despite dealing with a sprained left ankle suffered in Wednesday's game against Indiana, scored 29 points, grabbed eight rebounds and handed out five assists to lead Oklahoma City to a 111-104 win over Atlanta at Philips Arena.
Russell Westbrook supplied 28 points and nine assists while James Harden chipped in with 17 off the bench for the Thunder, who have won the two in a row following a season-high three-game slide.
"I just tried not to think about it," Durant said about the injury. "I just tried to have mind over matter. This game is mental, so, if you think about being injured, you're going to go out there and play like you're injured. My adrenaline was pumping a little bit. My teammates got me going and I was able to make some shots."
Kevin Durant (ankle) played in Friday's win over the Hawks, and scored 29 points on 10-of-18 shooting (4-of-5 from downtown, 5-of-5 from the foul line) with eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal.
Instead of the day off to rest for later action, owners got the elite-level production instead. It's doubtful the Thunder would have let him play if the injury was too serious, and judging by the production everything is fine. Russell Westbrook hit the game-clinching three and finished with 28 points, three rebounds, nine assists, and four steals.Comment -

exactly.. but still KD is such a valuable asset of OKC and the only way to have a good playoff is him being healthy 100%.. let's see how it unfolds.. I'm just going to back off... but I love your pick.. Thanks...Originally posted by GarbageManHis fitness hinges the whole result and by these couple of reports things look good Rotoworld haven't even listed him......

If KD doesn't play, that for me would be even more reason to play OKC. Line was -6.5 at 5Dimes when I took 'em.Comment -
