Kings at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 120, Thunder 119
Moneyline
PASS.
The Kings (-150) should be able to pull out a close win, but they are being overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET THUNDER +3.5 (-112).
Oklahoma City is among the best bounce-back teams in the league and is 15-5-1 ATS in its last 21 games after a loss. Sacramento did not come out flat in Sunday’s meeting, but may give a less-inspired effort Tuesday as it looks ahead to its rematch vs. the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday after defeating them 176-175 in double overtime Feb. 24.
The Kings should have a tough time trying to cover back-to-back road games vs. the best ATS team this season in the Thunder (61.4% cover percentage).
Over/Under
BET OVER 235.5 (-105).
The Over is 7-1-1 in Sacramento’s last 9 games and is 3-0-1 in the Kings’ last 4 vs. teams with a losing record. The Over has hit in 3 of Oklahoma City’s last 5 games after a loss and is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams.
