What to Know
The Oklahoma City Thunder might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Sacramento Kings at 10 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at Golden 1 Center. The Thunder should still be riding high after a win, while Sacramento will be looking to regain their footing.
Things were close when OKC and the Portland Trail Blazers clashed this past Friday, but Oklahoma City ultimately edged out the opposition 96-93. The top scorer for OKC was small forward Luguentz Dort (23 points).
Meanwhile, the contest between Sacramento and the Golden State Warriors this past Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Sacramento falling 126-114 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Despite their loss, Sacramento got to see several of their players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. power forward Harrison Barnes, who had 25 points along with five rebounds, was the best among equals.
The Thunder are expected to lose this next one by 8. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 29-14-1 against the spread when expected to lose.
OKC’s victory brought them up to 17-34 while the Kings’ defeat pulled them down to 19-35. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: OKC has only been able to knock down 41.70% percent of their shots, which is the lowest field goal percentage in the league. Sacramento has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.50% from the floor on average, which is the second highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
