Kings at Thunder picks and predictionsPrediction
Thunder 122, Kings 106
PASS.
No interest. The Thunder (-3000) should continue their unbeaten streak at home and are far too expensive to consider here.
BET KINGS +18.5 (-115).
The Thunder are 0-2 ATS this season as a favorite of 16 points or more, and while they are the much better side, they have struggled to score enough to win by this margin. They have scored more than 121 points in just 2 of their last 5 games.
The Kings have tallied 110 points in back-to-back games. They have yet to be an underdog of this magnitude but are 1-1 ATS on the road as a double-digit underdog. Expect them to score enough to cover.
Back KINGS +18.5 (-115).
BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).
The Thunder have gone Under in 4 of their last 6 games, mainly because of their rock-solid defense, which has allowed 102 or fewer points 5 times in that span. OKC has the best defensive rating (103.2) in the NBA.
The Kings have gone 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games, scoring 110 or fewer points in each contest. Given that the Thunder are at home and should be in the driver’s seat, and that they rank 23rd in pace, the tempo of this game should be slower. Take UNDER 233.5 (-110).
