For a juggernaut like the Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5), a three-game losing streak is a mild alarm, but the schedule is serving up a gift tonight: a trip to the 1-11 Sacramento Kings.
My Thunder vs. Kings predictions expect a wobbling Sacramento team to feel the backlash from SGA & Co. here.
My NBA picks also spotlight Isaiah Hartenstein and Domantas Sabonis, with this Sun. Nov. 15 battle tipping off at 9 pm ET.
TOP PICK
Thunder vs Kings prediction: Thunder -10.5
Injury setbacks have left the Oklahoma City Thunder vulnerable on this road trip, but they can take out their frustration on the slumping Sacramento Kings, who've lost five straight.
The Thunder have owned this matchup lately, winning eight straight against the Kings and going 6-2 against the spread, and it starts on the defensive end — with OKC holding opponents to the NBA's lowest FG% (41.7).
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off an efficient 40-point night in L.A., and he can feast on easy looks against a Sacramento defense that allows 50.5 points in the paint per game (seventh-most in the league).
I'd bet this up to 11.5, especially with Keegan Murray and Precious Achiuwa on the Sacramento injury report.
COVERS INTEL: Look for the Thunder defense to spark a big lead. The Kings have been held below the 110-point mark in five straight outings, and they rank in the Bottom 5 in offensive efficiency (1.041).
Thunder vs Kings combo
I'll gladly fade a Kings team that's 1-11 SU and still winless at home, especially with the Thunder welcoming back Nikola Topic and possibly Ajay Mitchell (questionable), too.
Gilgeous-Alexander found a better shot diet in his 15-for-26 stat line last time out, and he's averaging 34.3 ppg in November despite the scoring burden weighing heavily on his shoulders.
Facing a Darius Acuff Jr./Zach LaVine backcourt, SGA should find plenty of easy pickings for drives to the hoop.
OKC is also asking Isaiah Hartenstein to dig deeper into his playmaking bag, and the big man has responded with four or more assists in seven straight games.
Hartenstein has even dished at least six dimes in four of his last five contests, and he's a key ingredient in the Thunder offense as it rights the ship.
Thunder vs Kings combo
- Thunder moneyline
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 points
- Isaiah Hartenstein Over 3.5 assists
Thunder vs Kings player props
Thunder player prop: Isaiah Hartenstein Over 10.5 rebounds
I'd play this up to 57%.
The Thunder have counted on Hartenstein for 30+ minutes in back-to-back outings, and his rebounding is a big reason why OKC ranks second in the league in defensive boards per game (the Kings sit 26th in that category).
Hartenstein is averaging 11.7 rpg this month, and he's cashed this Over in eight of his last 11 contests. Look for him to pad his tally as he props up the visitors' second unit against the Sacramento bench, with the hosts' clunky shooting offering plenty of work on the glass.
Kings player prop: Domantas Sabonis Over 11.5 rebounds
I'd play this up to 12.5 at a better price.
Despite another lost season in Sacramento, Domantas Sabonis is digging in on the boards, averaging 13.2 rpg to paper over Maxime Raynaud's absence.
Sabonis has cashed this Over in three of his past four contests, and he finished with 18 rebounds in his one clash with the Thunder last season.
He should also be safe to linger in the paint tonight, with OKC short on reliable 3-point shooters and searching for rhythm amid injury woes.
