Thunder vs. Kings Prediction
The Thunder have picked up upset wins over the Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers recently. Against the Pacers, the Oklahoma City outfit racked up an incredible 41 assists. On defense, the team is very hit-and-miss. They've displayed exceptional turnover capabilities, but frequently come unstuck when dealing with rebounds.
The Kings, meanwhile, got the better of the Lakers thanks to crisp offense from the likes of Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter. They're one of the most efficient offensive teams in the NBA right now, averaging 118.1 points per game. They're not quite as strong on the defensive end of the court but should still be able to trouble the Thunder bar perhaps Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Kings should be able to continue their winning ways in a high-octane clash tonight.
Prediction: Kings -3.5 (-105)
