LiontipsOklahoma vs Sacramento. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Oklahoma lost any chances for play-off a long time ago. Now Thunder have 21 wins, which is ten victories away from the tenth spot in the Western Conference. There are only seven games left for Daigneault's team, so this handicap is impossible to overcome.
Seems like Thunder players are busy booking their vacation now, because their results are not impressive, to say the least. In their last three games they lost to New Orleans (95:109), Indiana (95:152) and to Phoenix (120:123).
Sacramento is still having the slim chance for the playoffs, but that will be extremely hard for them to get there. They are four wins away from ten-placed San Antonio and that handicap would be hard to overcome, because there are only eight games left in the regular season.
But Kings won't retreat. Team from California managed to beat Lakers (110:106) and Dallas (111:99) in the last two games.

Tip and bets
It seems like Oklahoma isn't trying to win games. Thunder are extremely bad on offense. In 3 out of last 5 games they failed to score more than 95 points. So it's highly likely that Thunder won't score too many points in this game as well. Especially since they will be playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Al Horford, who are their key players. In this circumstances, we believe that this will be a low-scoring game.
Our prediction - total under 232,5 points
Sacramento simply needs a win more, because they are still in contention for a playoff spot. If Kings won't win, they will lose any chance to advance, so we expect a victory for the guests.
Second prediction - handicap (-2,5) points on Sacramento.
