KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHOENIX: BACKCOURT: At the age of 19, SG Devin Booker is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA. He averaged 19 points per game after the All-Star break last year. PG Eric Bledsoe has fallen out of public discussion somewhat recently, but he's one of the league's best scoring point guards and defenders, too. PG Brandon Knight has had a rough go in Phoenix, but coming off the bench might be exactly what he needs. He also may hate it and ask for a trade. . . . FRONTCOURT: Rookie PFs Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender join the fold as top-eight draft picks. Both are longer-term projects, but have immense talent and skills that could potentially be useful for the team right away. C Tyson Chandler is still starting down low, but the Suns would love the younger C Alex Len to give the team a reason to put him in the starting lineup instead. SFs P.J. Tucker and T.J. Warren will likely compete to start throughout the year. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Everyone's excited about Devin Booker, and with plenty of good reason. Bledsoe, too, seems like a sure thing. If things break right for at least two of the Chriss-Bender-Knight-Warren group, the Suns could surprise the way they did three years ago.
OKLAHOMA CITY: BACKCOURT: It's not hard to see why PG Russell Westbrook is an MVP favorite: He's smack in the middle of his prime and he's entering a season as the undisputed No. 1 option for the first time in his career. He's never had a backcourt partner as good as SG Victor Oladipo, who is underrated after getting little national attention in Orlando. SG/SF Andre Roberson may start alongside them, creating terror on the defensive perimeter. . . . FRONTCOURT: It's a new-look frontcourt without Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. Centers Steven Adams and Enes Kanter are a great defense-offense combo, respectively, but are too lumbering to see the court together regularly. Rookie PF Domantas Sabonis looks ready to contribute right away, which he will probably need to. SF Kyle Singler has quietly improved over the course of his young career. . . . BOTTOM LINE: It's worth tuning in on any given night for the possibility of Russ putting up a 40-15-15 line, but how much can he do by himself? Watching him dominate the ball will be fun for a while, but the role players here don't inspire a ton of confidence.
PREVIEW
Thunder, Westbrook to host Suns
 

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The start of the 2016-17 season for Russell Westbrook almost couldn't have gone any better and he'll try to keep it going when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Phoenix Suns on Friday.

Not only did the point guard lead his team to a comeback 103-97 victory over host Philadelphia on Wednesday, but he narrowly missed a triple-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

As he enters his ninth year, Westbrook continues to transform from an aggressive scoring guard to an all-around point guard who can take over games in a variety of ways.

"It's just taking my time, being patient, poised and managing the game," Westbrook said. "It's part of my job, to be able to manage the game at a high level and that's a huge thing for me moving forward with this team."

But it was the defense the Thunder displayed in final minutes against the 76ers that really stood out. They had to come up with three consecutive stops, including a blocked shot by guard Andre Roberson and guard Victor Oladipo taking a charge to secure the win.

"I think that was the key," Thunder forward Enes Kanter said. "When you try to finish the game, when you try to finish the fourth quarter, I think the most important thing is the defense. Everybody was focused, everybody did a good job."

Opening night was not as kind for the Phoenix Suns. They were at home Wednesday taking on fellow Pacific Division rival Sacramento and fell 113-94.

The Suns got off to start shooting the ball, but trailed 57-38 at half. Using their reserves, however, Phoenix was able to go on a run in the third quarter and cut the lead to 10. But that would be as close as they would get.

Guard Eric Bledsoe was back on the court for the first time since a season ending knee injury in December. He scored 16 points in his return. Guard Devin Booker led the team with 18.

However, having the second unit play as well as it did was a positive note Phoenix coach Earl Watson can carry into the Suns game with the Thunder.

"The momentum changed everything," Watson told The Arizona Republic. "Our second unit, we just played young guys, let them play aggressive, let them have fun, be creative. They played with a lot of passion. It was fun to watch."

It was also a way for Watson to send a message to his veterans who under-performed and played with lackluster effort at the start.

"The way I addressed the team was, you can't use, 'We're young,'" Watson told Arizonasports.com. "Our young guys got us in the game. Our veterans have to come and have to play with the same passion."

Even though the Suns are coming off a contest in which their offense inconsistent, the Thunder are wary of the explosive squad.

"They are a very, very fast team, an explosive team," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said of the Suns. "Their backcourt with Book and Brevin Knight has speed. Along with Bledsoe, they can shoot the ball. (Tyson) Chandler is one of the great rollers to the rim and a great post defender. They have the ability to play small. They are a different team than Philadelphia, but it will be a challenge."
