The Sacramento Kings were the NBA’s surprise package last season. While many expected a breakthrough season from the Oklahoma City Thunder, few thought they would be in the mix for the Western Conference’s top seed. Led by the MVP play of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC has been going toe-to-toe with the league’s elite. They are unsurprisingly favoured for this game.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings prediction is for the total points to be higher than 237.5.

In this article:


OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER VS SACRAMENTO KINGS Prediction

From the top defence in the league, the OKC Thunder have fallen to 19th place in defensive rating in the past 5 games and have been allowing an average of 120.6 points per game. They are still averaging 119 points per game in that same span, and playing against a mediocre defensive team like the Sacramento Kings should allow their offence to get going.

The Kings have been playing solid basketball in the last 10 games, winning 7 and coming off a 135-point performance against the Denver Nuggets. They have also averaged 120.6 points per game while ranking 7th in pace rating. We expect both teams to come out swinging in tonight’s game and for the game to be very high-scoring.
