Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home. The Kings have also won 9 of the last 10 meetings against OKC. With all that said, the Thunder are 15-7 ATS on the season and despite losing all these games against the Kings, they're 8-1-1 ATS in those last 10 meetings. The Thunder make bettors money time and time again, and until the tickets stop cashing, I'm going to keep backing them. Give me the free bucket.
