Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are obviously capable of blowing the doors off, as they’ve done over the years, but they’re also an injured team that’s on the end of a back-to-back. Even for OKC, this isn’t a great spot. The Thunder are also 1-3 ATS on the season, so they’re not cashing tickets like they have in recent seasons. The Kings are healthy for the most part, rested, and they’ve covered 3 of their last 4 games as a double-digit underdog. Two of those covers were outright victories. This line is just showing the Thunder the same respect they usually get, when the truth is they’re not that team yet based on injuries. Give me the points with the Kings.
