Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Current situation
At just 8-8 after 16 games played the Sacramento Kings find themselves in 12th place in the Western Conference. Last year they were at a 56% win pace, so things will have to improve if they want to make it into the postseason this time around. DeMar DeRozan coming over was hailed a big move in the offseason and even though he has produced solid numbers, the team has failed to translate those into wins. The Kings are just 7-9 against the spread this season.
Oklahoma City is currently tied for the 1st spot in the Western Conference at 12-4 with the Golden State Warriors. That is a good thing considering they’ve spent quite a lot of time without a quality center following Chet Holmgren’s injury. Alex Caruso is also out, he is one of the elite perimeter defenders in the NBA. Once this team gets healthy they will be a force in the West, but until then the Thunder will have to rely on other players to carry them.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
The Kings are on a run of just 1 win in 4 games before Sunday’s game against the Clippers. Scoring was a major issue in their last game against LA as they finished with just 88 points scored. That is very unusual for a team with so much offensive talent on their roster. De’Aaron Fox has finally cooled off, he had averaged over 45 points in his last 3 games. The Kings will be looking to improve on their 3-5 ATS record in home games this season.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
Oklahoma City has been a reliable bet on the road this season, covering the spread 4 times in 6 games. However, they too are on a run of just 1 win in 3 games which is one of their worst 3-game stretches of the season. They did beat the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game 109-99, but the Sacramento Kings will present a much tougher challenge here. The encouraging factor here is the play of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who has scored over 30 points in 2 of his last 3 games.
Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Head-to-Head
Oklahoma City has been by far the superior team in regular season meetings between these two teams. They lead 151-101 in the all-time regular season series, but the two teams did split the 4 meetings last year. The Kings had an 8-game win streak going before the Thunder won the last 2 meetings of the season.
Sacramento Kings – Oklahoma City Thunder Odds
For a 5th Oklahoma City win in 7 road games you can get odds of 8/13. If you like the home team Kings to pull off the upset, odds of 6/4 will be available.
The point total has been set at just 225.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder (25.11.2024)
This will undoubtedly be a much harder game for Oklahoma City than their weekend encounter with the Portland Trail Blazers. However, this team has been battle tested already this season and is overcoming adversity despite not having 2 of their top 5 players available due to injuries. Look for Oklahoma City to increase the tempo here and try to run Domantas Sabonis off the court. The Kings really struggle shooting the three-ball this season, ranking just 26th in efficiency. It’s hard to win games without a three-point shot in today’s NBA, so that’s definitely an advantage that the Thunder have here. De’Aaron Fox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will most likely cancel each other out here, but Oklahoma City is the team with the better depth here. No Malik Monk has really hurt the Kings offense, he is one of their most reliable scorers this season. So far this year the Kings have played 4 games in a back-to-back scenario and have won just twice. Last year they were even worse at just 6-9, so we feel like backing the Oklahoma City Thunder is the way to go here.
