Thunder at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 125, Thunder 122

Moneyline

BET KINGS (-120).

Sacramento has played 10 home games this season and won 7 of them. It matches up well with the Kings. The speed of Fox can rival SGA, and then the size of C Domantas Sabonis and can overpower the lengthy C Chet Holmgren.

The Thunder are 4-3 outright over their last 7 games while the Kings are 3-2 over their last 5 and 2-1 over their last 3. Sacramento is 6-2 straight up as a home favorite. It matches up well and should be able to come out on top given its home success.

Take KINGS (-120).

Against the spread

SKIP.

This should be a close game between 2 top teams in the West. That said, avoid the spread and play the Kings to win outright.

Over/Under

BET OVER 243.5 (-112).

The Thunder are 13-9 O/U and have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games. They have scored at least 125 in all 4 Over-hitting games while topping 130 in 3 of them. The Kings are 12-10 O/U and have gone Over in 6 of their last 8. They have scored at least 120 points in 4 of those 8.

The key here is the combined pace and efficiency. The Kings rank 11th in pace while the Thunder sit 6th. Sacramento ranks 12th in effective field goal percentage (54.7%) while the Thunder rank 4th (56.4%). Both offenses are among the best in the league and play fast.

Take OVER 243.5 (-112).
