OKC Thunder guard Isaiah Joe is available to play against the Phoenix Suns at 8:30 p.m. CT Monday in Game 4 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
Joe did not play due to personal reasons during OKC’s 121-109 road win over Phoenix in Game 3 on Saturday. That gave the Thunder a 3-0 series lead.
OKC remains without Jalen Williams (left hamstring strain). Phoenix also remains without Mark Williams (left foot third metatarsal stress reaction), and Jordan Goodwin (left calf strain) is listed as questionable.

Thunder vs Suns predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 123, Phoenix 110
Phoenix only committed 11 turnovers during Game 3 after averaging 20.5 turnovers during the first two games. The Suns also won the battle on the offensive glass, 9-8, despite being undersized. And they received 75 points from their lead trio of Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green. But none of that was enough to prevent OKC from earning a 121-109 win. The Thunder has shown that it’s simply the better team on both ends of the floor, even without Jalen Williams, and I expect it to complete the sweep Monday.
