The Thunder hits the road on Friday night to take on the Sacramento Kings, perhaps the biggest surprise of the season so far. At 25-18, the Kings are third in the Western Conference, and they have their sights set on making the playoffs, something they haven’t done since 2006.

The Kings rank in the bottom 10 in the league at covering the spread, while the Thunder is in second, right behind the Memphis Grizzlies. Sacramento looks different from the first three meetings with the Thunder thanks to a trade that sent Tyrese Haliburton to Indiana and brought in Domantas Sabonis. While I think that Sabonis is the key to the Kings being successful tonight, I do think that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be the best player on the court, which gives OKC a good shot at not just covering but winning the game outright.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is riding a 3-game win streak after defeating the Trail Blazers in Portland last night, and they have a chance to match their season-long streak of four wins tonight as they take on the Kings in Sacramento. The Kings have had a rough season so far, and similar to the Thunder before the 3-game win streak, Sacramento has lost a lot of games lately.

This one seems almost too easy for me. OKC has won 4 of the last 5, and Sacramento has lost 4 of the last 5. While it is likely time for something to give one way or the other, I’m just not seeing it tonight. Despite the Thunder missing several key players to health and safety protocols (Josh Giddey, Darius Bazley, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, etc.), the best player in the matchup is active: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is ending 2021 on a pleasant note, or at least it appears that way, as they have won 4 of their 5 last with the only loss coming to the Phoenix Suns, who hold the NBA’s best record. Right know, with 3 games left to play this week, OKC has a 6-6 record for December, and this is probably about as close as they’re going to get all season to going .500 or better in a month. They have a decent shot at it, too, starting with Tuesday night’s matchup in Sacramento against the Kings.

It’s hard to tell if the Oklahoma City Thunder are even trying to tank after grabbing a 108-100 win on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. The win was OKC’s third in a row and puts the Thunder at 4-6 on the season. Last season, the Thunder had just one 3-game winning streak, and that was the longest of the season. Tonight, they have a chance to beat that mark when they host the Sacramento Kings.

Once again this comes down to simple semantics. Just like the Golden State Warriors set last week, OKC is coming off a blowout loss and has to take the court again, on the road, against the same team. There’s nothing here to lead someone to believe the Thunder can cover. OKC could have Dort back in the lineup tonight but they are without point guard Theo Maledon. Is that enough to make up 17 points from Sunday’s performance? I don’t believe that it is.

For the third time in 8 days, the Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Sacramento Kings this evening for the Thunder’s final road game of the season. Despite the Kings sitting at 12th in the Western Conference and the Thunder at 13th in the Western Conference, the two teams have very different motives headed into tonight’s matchup.

I’m really torn here because based on trends this is a game where Oklahoma City should cover. I’m scared by the 4.5 line though because that means the Thunder will be in a position to win and you can’t really deny that they don’t really want to do that. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the last thing they want to do is mess around and accidentally win this game.
