(NBA) Sacramento vs. Oklahoma City,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -104.00 Oklahoma City (Home)
Result: Win
The Kings are coming into this game with a 45-33 record this season and they are currently sitting in 8th place in the Western Conference. They are coming off of a big win against the Nets in their last game by close to 30 points, but they have also lost 2 of their last 3 games when they played stronger opponents. They have not been as good on the road this season as they have been at home and they have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games on the road. They are going up against a Thunder team that is 53-25 this season and currently sitting in 3rd place in the Western Conference. There is only 4 games left in the season for them but they are only 1 game behind both the Nuggets and the Timberwolves for the number 1 seed so they are right in the thick of things, looking to claim that number 1 seed for themselves. They will be getting a big boost back in their lineup as well with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning for this game. The Thunder have not been great in their recent games without SGA as they have lost 3 of their last 4, but they are going to have some confidence again with him coming back as they are also coming off of a win in their last game. They have also been a monster at home this season and in their recent games there as they are 29-8 at home, winning 3 of their last 4 as well as 12 of their last 14 games there and a majority of those wins coming by 6+ points. The Thunder already have plenty of motivation here at home with SGA coming back and the number 1 seed on the line, but they will also be trying to even up this season series. This has been a very home dominated series as the Kings won their first 2 games of the season against the Thunder at home, but the Thunder won the last meeting at home in a 10+ point win blowout and they will be hungry to do the same here. The Thunder will cover the spread in this game.
