Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Sacramento Kings are dealing with trade rumors, and it can shake up a locker room and impact players negatively. Will De’Aaron Fox get traded in the next few days? We just saw the Kings lose to a banged-up 76ers squad as 8-point favorites. The Thunder have some recent bizarre losses themselves, but they've been a model of consistency this season, and that includes a 29-15-3 ATS record. There's no team better than the Thunder, with a 67.4 cover percentage. The favorite has covered nine of the last 10 games between the Kings and Thunder. I'll lay the points with OKC at home.
