Best Team in the West
The Oklahoma City Thunder have the best record in the Western Conference and there is no doubt they are serious NBA title contenders. Oklahoma City is the third highest scoring team in the NBA and while their defense is not great, it is not terrible. The Thunder are starting to be a little bit overvalued in NBA odds but they still have a winning record against the spread on the road. With Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder have a potent duo that is better than almost any other duo in the league.
Kings 6-4 ATS at Home
Sacramento is not a good team but they do have some young talent and they have played well at home this season. The Kings are 6-4 ATS at home and they will be home underdogs against the Thunder. Sacramento can sometimes get good performances from young players like Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and Marcus Thornton but the Kings don’t get them on a consistent basis.
Game Notes
As we noted earlier, the Thunder have won 9 of the last 10 meetings. They are also 6-4 ATS in those games. Oklahoma City has won six of the last ten games at Sacramento and they are 6-4 ATS. Two of the last three have gone over the total.
Basketball Picks
The Kings have been competitive at home this season but the Thunder is just too good. Oklahoma City had yesterday off and this is a game they will really want because they have a very tough game in Utah tomorrow with no rest. We’ll take the Thunder and lay the points and also take the game over the total.
