Thunder at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 122, Thunder 116
Moneyline
Assuming that Sabonis is active KINGS (-150) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Kings are 14-9 at home compared to the Thunder being 8-14 on the road this season.
Against the spread
KINGS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning if Sabonis plays Friday night. If Sabonis is ruled out, then I’d certainly consider taking the Thunder to cover the spread on the road.
The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road meetings against the Kings and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Over/Under
UNDER 241.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the scoring potential of the Thunder and the Kings. Even though these teams are both top 6 in pace, they haven’t hit this total in the last 10 meetings.
