Kings vs Thunder NBA betting preview (February 28th, 2023). The Sacramento Kings are -2.5 (bet365) on Tuesday.
The Sacramento Kings will face the OKC Thunder on Tuesday, February 28th, 2023. The Thunder will host the game with a start time of 8:00 PM ET. The Kings, at the time of writing, were the favorites, set at -2.5 (bet365). They look like a strong pick to cover that spread in a game where OKC will be shorthanded major talent.
The Sacramento Kings will enter the game with an overall record of 35-25 on the season. This is a team that is on a bit of an upturn, one that may yet help them win the Pacific Division. Sacramento is 6-2 in its last eight games, including three wins since the All-Star break ended. One of those three wins was against the OKC Thunder directly, in a game that OKC hosted. The Kings posted a 9-point spread not long ago.
Sacramento entered the day with De’Aaron Fox questionable to play (Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reported). However, the OKC Thunder are in worse shape.
They will remain without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the game. The Thunder are a team that is very thin for top-level talent: they aren’t the kind of team that’s likely to absorb an injury to its star player.
OKC is a really tough sell at just +2.5 in this game. Accordingly, the Kings have to be considered stronger favorites than -2.5. They could be placed at -5.0 in a game where Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis should dominate. Take Sacramento to cover -2.5 at odds of -110 (10/11).
