The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 53-25 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court this year with their 29-8 home record and they are still in the race for the number 1 seed in the West. Meanwhile, the Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 45-33 record overall, but that record only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West. The Kings are in a position to climb the standings and get into a playoff spot in the West, but they are also in a position to slide down into a lower play-in spot. They have been a good road team this year with their 22-18 road record but they haven't been at their best in those games. Both of these teams are 5-5 in their last 10 games and coming off a win in their last one against teams with losing records. The Thunder have been without their star player in their last few games but they have still looked good without him and they have continued to roll over good teams on their home court. The Kings have been good this year but they are a really inconsistent team while the Thunder haven't been and have been solid on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.
