How to Watch Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns Game 4 - Monday NBA Playoffs on Peacock
Can Oklahoma City sweep Phoenix in the First Round? We'll find out Monday night.
There are eight Best-of-7 series unfolding in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs, comprising 16 teams battling it out for the chance to advance. Of those eight series, seven of them are contested so far. One has the chance to be a clean sweep for one team and a winless postseason for the other.
That series is between the Phoenix Suns and the defending NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder, who came out of the regular season with the best record in the league and entered the playoffs looking like repeat champions. Phoenix still hopes to stall or even flat-out stop that run, but they've only got one more chance to make it happen, and you can catch it all on Peacock.

What to expect from Oklahoma City vs. Phoenix
The Thunder have been as-advertised throughout the postseason so far, and Game 3 was no different, with reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropping more than 40 points on the Suns during the series' first game in Phoenix. There's no reason to expect any different from them in Game 4, but Phoenix does have a couple of things on their side.
For one thing, statistically speaking the Suns have actually managed a more potent offense than the often dominant Thunder, and while OKC might not be easy to defend, a shootout could actually work in Phoenix's favor provided they can be efficient. Then, there's the old-fashioned magic of a hometown crowd during an elimination game. It worked for Houston in their series against the Lakers on Sunday night, and lightning could strike twice in Phoenix Monday night. With apologies to Thunder fans, it is always nice to see every Playoffs series get at least a little more competitive along the way.
