The 5-3 Oklahoma City Thunder face the 3-4 Sacramento Kings in a big NBA clash. The Golden 1 Center will be packed for the game, as the Kings attempt to build on their recent win over the Timbers.
If you are looking to place a bet on the game, then our NBA Picks are essential reading. Our experts have weighed up the key areas that will decide the game in order to put together their exclusive tip.
After a 3-3 start to the season, the Thunder have found their form this week and put together two impressive victories. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the star of the show so far, the NBA All-Star leads the team in points and assists, including an impressive haul of 73 points and 12 assists in his last two games. If the Thunder are to improve on their 10th place Conference finish last season, SGA is going to be the man to watch.
It’s been a topsy turvy start to the season for the Kings. Impressive wins over the likes of the Timbers and the Lakers have been mixed with disappointing losses to the Warriors and Rockets. Consistency is clearly an issue for the Kings, but one man who has found his form in every game has been Domantas Sabonis. The Lithuanian has led the Kings in rebounds in all seven of their games so far. He also managed 27 points in this week’s win over the Timbers.
The two teams have met in 248 regular season games, with the Thunder holding a 149-99 lead in the head-to-head. However, the Kings have won the last six matchups between the franchises.

The Kings are marginal favorites for the game on NBA betting sites and can be backed at -142 for the win. Meanwhile, the Thunder are priced at +120.
These are two evenly watched sides who are struggling for consistency. That makes it a very hard game to predict. However, we think that Gilgeous-Alexander will prove the difference between the teams. The former first round pick is playing some of the best ball of his career and defenses are finding it impossible to contain him. If he can carry on in that vein against the Kings, then the Thunder look good value for the upset.
