Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder Odds
Sacramento Kings Team News
The Sacramento Kings have been playing very good basketball since the beginning of the season. Last season they had a very successful period and they are trying to continue like that in this moment as well. This team relies on offense and not so much on defense, which is paying off for them so far as the Sacramento Kings are 13-9.
With such a win-loss ratio, this team is fifth in the West. In the game that preceded this duel, the Sacramento Kings were defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers 119:99, since they did not score 30 points in any quarter. It is very uncharacteristic for the team from California, which showed in this match that it does not have a plan B when the offensive does not work. Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox were stopped, the first at 15, the second at 14 points, with poor shooting percentages. The most outstanding was Keegan Murray with 17 points. Those are the only three players on the losing team who were in double figures, which may be a concern before the rest of the season.
The Sacramento Kings now have to show that this was all just one bad day. A team that scored 130 points every night was reduced to only 99, which shows they are uncomfortable with a tough and physically demanding game. It is one of the segments, which could take the Sacramento Kings to an even higher level.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the most positive surprises this season. This team has a leader, the roles are well distributed and can play great in offense, which happens more often, but also great in defense.
They have been playing in the same rhythm lately. The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a two-game winning streak. First, after overtime, they beat the Golden State Warriors, then the Utah Jazz with 134:120, in the opening round before this game. The last win is even more impressive, when you take into account that the Utah Jazz decided the fourth quarter in their favor with 45:22. Otherwise, the win would have been much more convincing. The most effective Oklahoma City Thunder players were Shai Giggleous-Alexander with 30 points and Chet Holmgren with 16 points.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently in second place in the West, with a record of 15-7, and they just need to keep playing, the way they have been playing so far. Along with a superb offense, this team has proven that they can be very good in defense and that versatility is their great strength.
