Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Season record: 33-25.
The Sacramento Kings kicked off their NBA comeback with a resounding 116-133 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at home. However, they faced a much tougher opponent the next day, playing the Clippers away from home, where they have fared relatively well this season.
In fact, the Kings are one of the few teams with a positive record when playing away, winning 15 out of 28 games (and losing 13).
Their success throughout the regular season can be attributed to their impressive offensive performance, which currently boasts the highest average per game at 119.7 points.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 28-30.
The Oklahoma City Thunder faced a tough opponent in their last game against the Phoenix Suns. While facing the Suns away is already a challenging test, it is even more so for the Thunder, who have lost 18 out of their 29 away games this season.
Fortunately for them, they will now return to the Paycom Center, where they have a positive record of 17-12 so far. The Thunder will try to use this advantage to secure a necessary victory as they strive to climb up the standings.
Their record at home is encouraging, having won two out of the three most recent meetings against the Kings. We believe, in this way, they’ll try to extend this record on Sunday night.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Sacramento has the best offensive record this season, they will face an Oklahoma team that is not far behind in this aspect – the Thunder have recorded an average of 117.9 points per game so far this season.
It is important to stay tuned for medical reports on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s leading scorer, who missed his last game due to injury. He is a key player for the team and his absence could have an impact on the game.
Both franchises have a spectacular level of attack, but their great defensive lapses have been a significant weakness this season. This flaw will likely lead to a high-scoring game, with the final score reflecting many points.
Prediction: Over.
