Series History
So far this season, the Thunder is 2-0 against the Kings (1-0 at home, 1-0 on the road). OKC has won 4 in a row against Sacramento.
Why the Thunder Will Cover (-10)
The Thunder locked up the top spot in the West last week, and Sacramento is fighting desperately for some footing in the Western Conference standings. Still, OKC has mostly played well lately, regardless of who is in and who is out. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are both questionable tonight, and though the Kings could use a win, I don’t see it happening. I expect Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to have a solid bounce-back game with OKC winning by double digits.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (232)
The Thunder’s offense has been on point lately, and while the defense has been pretty good as well, Sacramento’s offense is formidable and can easily put up points. I do think the Kings struggle to get to their average of 116 points per game, but I think OKC put up a lot to make up for the difference and push this total over the 232 mark.
