The Thunder are coming into this game with a 16-34 record overall and they are 7-18 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak after another win in their last game. Their last loss was against the Indiana Pacers while their 2 wins since then have come against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks in their last game. They still have a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night that needs to be played first with that result still pending so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Saturday night. In their game against the Mavericks, Luguentz Dort led the team in points in that game with 30 while Tre Mann was next on the team with 29 points. Josh Giddey led the team in assists in that game with 10 while Darius Bazley led the team in rebounds off the bench with 11. They were 47.7% from the field, 45.9% from 3-point range, and 84% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 101.1 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 107.6 PPG against them. The Thunder have an ATS record of 30-17-2 this season and their O/U record is 20-29.

 

 

The Kings are coming into this game with a 19-35 record overall and they are 13-16 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 8 of their last 9 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Brooklyn Nets while their 8 losses in that span came against the Houston Rockets, the Detroit Pistons, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, the Atlanta Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers, the New York Knicks, and the Golden State Warriors in their last game. Davion Mitchell led the team in points in that game with 26 while Harrison Barnes was next on the team with 25 points. Mitchell also led the team in assists in that game with 8 while Tyrese Haliburton led the team in rebounds with 6. They were 52.5% from the field, 35.5% from 3-point range, and 82.6% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 109.4 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 114.7 PPG against them. The Kings have an ATS record of 24-30 this season and their O/U record is 26-27-1.

 

 

The Thunder have been playing much better recently winning their last 2 straight and even their losses have been very close games recently. They have been playing this well while missing their best player as well but that is bound to start catching up with them and they will be on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back here so they will be tired from that plus the travel. The Kings have been just as bad as the thunder recently but overall they have been a much better team than them this season. The Kings will be more rested for this game and it is at home for them so this might be their best chance to snap their losing streak and pick up a win here at home. Neither team is really good here so this game should be close the entire time but in the end the Kings will edge out the Thunder and take the win here but not by much.
