Command Analysis
Sacramento Kings
USACurrent form
The Kings are going through difficult times and are outside the playoff zone. Three losses in a row have seriously complicated the team situation. In the last matches, Sacramento lost to Atlanta (108:109), Clippers (88:104) and Brooklyn (103:108).
Now the "kings" are closer to the three outsiders of the Western Conference than to its leaders. The upcoming home game gives a chance to correct the situation. The fans' main hopes are associated with Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox, who should restore the team confidence. It is extremely important for Sacramento to show a decent result in order to maintain its chances of fighting for a place in the top 10.
Disqualifications and injuries
Devin Carter, Isaiah Crawford, Mason Jones and Malik Monk will not play in the next meeting due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
The Kings have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head encounters.
Projected lineup: Murray - DeRozan, Sabonis - Hurter, Fox.
Oklahoma City Thunder
USACurrent form
The Thunder are leading the Western Conference, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain first place. Competitors such as Golden State are literally breathing down their necks. Oklahoma has shown instability in recent games, losing to Dallas (119:121) and San Antonio (104:110), but a win over Portland (109:99) allowed the team to remain at the top.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jaden Williams continue to be key players who can turn the tide of any game. The Thunder know it won't be easy against Sacramento on their home turf, but they're ready to impose their game on their opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team will be without Alex Caruso, Chet Holmgren, Nikola Topic and Jaylin Williams.
Interesting facts for betting
This season, the Thunder have four wins in six away games.
Tentative lineup: Dort - Williams, Wiggins - Wallace, Gilgeous-Alexander.

1.71Tip and bets
Oklahoma is rightfully considered the favorite of the match due to its confident play throughout the season. However, fatigue is starting to affect, and recent games have confirmed this. It will not be easy for the Thunder to maintain their position, because the Kings will try to take advantage of the leader misfires.
Sacramento, despite a series of defeats, has every chance to make a sensation, especially at home. The support of the stands and a competent approach to the game can be the key to success. We believe that the "kings" have everything to impose a fight and achieve an unexpected result.
Our prediction is a Sacramento win with overtime at 2.50
Bet on total
With three losses in a row, Sacramento is unlikely to rely on aggressive play in attack, especially against the conference leader. Oklahoma has also shown a decrease in scoring in recent matches. We assume that the total will not be broken, as both teams will focus on tactics and defense.
Forecast - total under 225.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
We expect the Kings to focus on defense, which will make it very difficult for the Thunder to show their offensive abilities, which will reduce the chances for the visitors to score well.
Prediction - Oklahoma individual total under 114.5 points for 1.86
