The Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings meet Saturday in NBA action at the Golden 1 Center. The Oklahoma City Thunder look to build on their three-game winning streak. The Sacramento Kings need a win after losing 13 of their last 16 games.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are averaging 101.1 points on 41.7 percent shooting and allowing 107.6 points on 44.6 percent shooting. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 22.7 points and 4.7 rebounds, while Luguentz Dort is averaging 16.7 points and 4.2 rebounds. Josh Giddey is the third double-digit scorer and Darius Bazley is grabbing 6.3 rebounds. The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting 31.4 percent from beyond the arc and 76.7 percent from the free throw line. The Oklahoma City Thunder are allowing 34.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.9 rebounds per game.

The Sacramento Kings are averaging 109.4 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 114.7 points on 47.5 percent shooting. De’Aaron Fox is averaging 21 points and 3.8 rebounds, while Harrison Barnes is averaging 16.6 points and 6 rebounds.

The Thunder are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Kings are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The under is 5-2-1 in Thunder last 8 overall. The under is 5-1 in Kings last 6 overall. The Thunder are 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

I'm not running to the window to back either of these teams, and the Sacramento Kings should be favored because they're at home with the rest advantage. With that said, the Oklahoma City Thunder have won three straight games, and they're winning their last five games by an average of 2.4 points. The Sacramento Kings should not be favored in nearly any circumstance, and they actually lose at home by an average of 2.2 points. It's OKC and the points or pass for me.
