No adams and no Noel..Ayton better have a big game but he has disappointed in games he should theoretically dominate.
Also back on topic, Ayton definitely better be dominant Ayton for us to win this game. We need to trap Paul with Bridges and Carter often! Also employ a full court press often, to wear him down faster! 
Age is a factor after all right? IF we come out aggressive and with consistent effort, We should take this game! Limit the threes for Oklahoma city too!

All these dudes are out:
Shai
Gallinari
Shroder
Adams
Noel
I don't know OKC's roster well enough to know who they're going to roll out but I'm guessing it will look something like this?:
Paul
Dort
Ferguson
Bazley
Muscala
As Qwigglez mentions this is a classic trap game scenario (especially since Paul is still playing) but the basketball gods are smiling on the Suns right now. If they come out and play hard and don't screw around there is a high chance of a W.
Man it's so exciting to be watching BOTH relevant Suns ball AND excellent Suns play at the same time. I am trying to just enjoy the ride and not get my hopes up too much, but I couldn't resist spending about an hour last night going through standings scenarios.... I think it's going to break my heart if we don't make it to the play-in despite my best efforts to keep my expectations grounded. Let's go SUNS!!!

Thing here is, there's no way the Griz won't get a similar favor or 2 from Boston and/or Milwaukee.
Not to mention, we still have to win 3 games. Regardless if teams are healthy or not.
The game against Dallas has me most worried I think. If we are 7-0 at that point and in a 'win and you're in' scenario, I am really excited to see how Booker and co. play knowing it truly is a win-or-go-home game.
