Sacramento (35-36) suffered a 113-95 home loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday. The Kings are looking to avoid getting swept in their three-game regular-season series against the Thunder.
Here's a preview of the Thunder-Kings game, including score predictions, betting odds and injury updates.
Thunder vs. Kings prediction, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 125, Sacramento 113
After catching fire this month, OKC's offense cooled off in a 103-101 road win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. But it should be able to get back on track against Sacramento, which ranks 22nd in the NBA in points allowed per game (115.8). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will cause problems for the Kings, who don't have many matchup options outside of Keon Ellis. And OKC's shooters will get plenty of clean looks against a Sacramento defense that ranks last in the league in opponent 3-point field goal percentage (38.4%)
