Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Regular Season Record: 34-25
The All-Star break seems to have been a great time for the Kings, who have managed to win all three of their games since then, including a great 176–175 double-overtime win on the road over the Los Angeles Clippers. Impressively, the Kings remain firmly in 3rd place in the Western Conference, so their long streak of missing the playoffs appears to be nearing an end.
Sacramento has struggled defensively this campaign, being the 5th worst team in the league in that regard, with an average of 118.1 points allowed per game. However, they have been fantastic offensively, averaging 120.6 points per game, the best figure in the NBA.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 28-31
The Oklahoma City Thunder’s season has been great, as, although they boast a negative record, they have been a much more competitive team than expected, even being just 1.0 game away from the play-in zone. The Thunder have also struggled defensively, allowing an average of 116.4 points per game.
However, the team has been able to tackle the problem with the power of its offense, which is the fourth best in the league with an average of 117.9 points scored per game. However, this time they could have issues in that area since they will not be able to count on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is injured and is the main reference of the team’s offense with an average of 31.0 points scored.
JefeBet Prediction
The Kings usually lower their offensive production on the road. However, they have corrected that difficulty a bit recently, and here they will have the opportunity to have another good performance, considering the Thunder’s issues on defense and that they will have all their main players on the court.
Also, while they are not great defensively, they could at least hold off a home offense that will be without its best player on offense and that has already struggled at their hands this campaign.
So, on this occasion, we think the best option is to expect the Sacramento Kings to impose their conditions, despite being visitors, and take the victory.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings Spread.
