NBA betting takes us out west to the Arco Arena in Sacramento as the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Kings.  The Thunder are currently 6th in the NBA’s Western Conference and have won 7 of their L10 SU.  They’re 1 game behind 5th place Phoenix and 2 1/2 games behind 4th place Utah, so they could very easily play themselves into home court advantage in the playoffs.  The Kings have lost 7 of 10 and have the third worst record in the conference.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER VS. SACRAMENTO KINGS

The Kings have actually covered their last five games, but have only covered 2 of their last seven games at Arco Arena.  Forward Jason Thompson is still out for Sacramento and though he’s not the kind of player who’ll have his injury be the lead story on ‘Sportscenter’ he’s a very valuable member of the team and leave the Kings with a big hole in their frontcourt.

Thunder are 1-1 on their West Coast road trip, losing at Denver and winning easily against the LA Clippers.  We like betting on the Thunder because they’re a team that takes care of business.  They’re 20-14 ATS as a favorite and 20-11 ATS on the road.  They’ve won  two of three games against the Kings this season, though Sacramento beat them by three on this court back in November.  Since then the Thunder have become a much better team, while the Kings have regressed.  OKC is playing for playoff position now and we like them to take care of business here with a relatively easy win.
