Thunder at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 114, Kings 105
Moneyline
The Thunder (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little expensive for a standalone wager, especially when backing a road team.
If you were to include OKC in a multi-leg parlay, that’s quite all right, but back off playing the Thunder straight up.
PASS.
Against the spread
Back THUNDER -4.5 (-110) at Golden 1 Center. Oklahoma City hasn’t been in action since Wednesday, and it should be rested and raring to go.
For the Kings +4.5 (-110), they were just in action Sunday, and now have the quick turnaround while facing a very difficult opponent. It isn’t likely to end well for the home side, which has been struggling mightily in the past week.
Over/Under
UNDER 223.5 (-110) is worth a look in Monday’s Western Conference battle in California’s capital city.
The Under has cashed in 3 straight games for the Kings, with Sacramento cobbling together 108 or fewer points in each of the past 3 games. The Kings have also allowed 109 or fewer points in each of those outings, too.
For the Thunder, they’ve seen the total go low in 4 of the past 5 games. The Under has a 3-2-2 edge in the past 7 meetings in this series, too, while cashing in 2 of the past 3 meetings at G1C.
