The set-up: The 45-33 OKC Thunder have clinched the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoff race. They will travel to Phoenix Friday night, to take on the 22-57 Suns, who have lost 13 in a row.

Oklahoma City: Westbrook's triple-double saga has overshadowed anything else that happens with the Thunder this season. He had a streak of seven consecutive triple-doubles snapped when a final-minute rebound bounced off his hands and was collected by Memphis guard Andrew Harrison, in OKC's 103-100 Wednesday win at Memphis. Westbrook had 45 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds against Memphis and will look to post a record-breaking 42nd triple-double on Friday. He is tied with Oscar Robertson (1961-62), as he fell one rebound shy of breaking the mark during Wednesday's win

Phoenix: The Suns' current 13-game losing streak ties a franchise record (has happened twice previously). Devin Booker remains the bright spot, having topped 20 points in seven consecutive games, which includes his career-high 70-point outing against the Boston Celtics on March 24. Booker is averaging 33.3 points during the stretch. Rookie PG Tyler Ulis had a season-best 34 points Sunday against Houston, part of a six-game run of double-figure scoring during which he has averaged 18.7 points. He currently ranks first among rookies in assists (7.2) and seventh in scoring (12.4) since the All-Star break. PF Alan Williams s another young player making a splash despite the Suns' woes, scoring 16 points and adding a career-high 17 rebounds in Wednesday's loss against Golden State, for his 14th double-double of the campaign.

The pick: Westbrook is averaging 41.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 13.7 assists against the Suns this season, including outputs of 51 and 48 points and a career-best 22-assist effort. This is no more than an 'exhibition' and the Under is a 10* play.
