NBA best bets: Best prop bets for Kings vs. Thunder (Yardbarker)

Both the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings have been rolling lately. Kade Kimble makes his prop bets as the two teams face off.

It was Jordan Poole who stepped up with a big night, but a heated moment between him and Steve Kerr was caught on the broadcast at the end of the third quarter. Putting his leadership on full display, Curry stepped in and explained that Steve Kerr is coaching up Poole the way he should, and Poole responded in a big way. The 10-year veteran is having one of the best seasons of his career and would be a solid scoring upgrade at a cheaper cost than DeRozan. A November report indicated the sides did not come close to a deal, and that could be a prelude to their 2023 talks. DeRozan would certainly give the Dallas Mavericks a secondary scorer upgrade and is a player with a lot of playoff experience. In 2019, Phelps was 2-1 with a 3.18 ERA in 24 games for the Cubs. Higgins and Hamlin will forever be linked because of the events of Jan. Memphis finished with a 63-47 rebounding advantage and had a 24-10 advantage on the offensive glass. Though he might not have as big of a game, he’s going to put up at least four threes and should be able to knock down two of them, as he shoots 44.4 percent on threes for the season. Schroder, who scored 19 points, had a steal, a layup and three free throws in the final 13 seconds to help the Lakers pull out the victory after they trailed by as many as 13 points late in the third quarter. He averages eight rebounds per game on the season and this matchup will provide a good opportunity for Giddey to hit a triple-double. However, for tonight, I like the Thunder to keep this game close and cover at +3, even in a tight loss.

NBA Odds: Thunder-Kings prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

The Oklahoma City Thunder make a business trip to "Sactown" to do battle with the Sacramento Kings. With that being said, let's check out our NBA odds ...

In going up against an OKC defense that certainly has as many holes as a slice of Swiss cheese, be on the lookout for Sacramento to exploit the Thunder’s occasional unwillingness to defend the paint and perimeter consistently. Above all else, Sacramento boasts a lethal amount of depth that gives them a chance to not only cover any game they play but also come away victories in convincing fashion. Not only that, but the Kings have won five consecutive games and are in firm control of the Pacific Division lead. Believe it or not, the Thunder have come out of nowhere and have secured wins in six of their last seven games en route to sitting only one game under the .500 mark. Whether it’s pulling up from three, hitting opposing defenses with a mid-range jumper, or slashing to the hoop for a layup, SGA is on a different level this season. The biggest reason for one of the NBA’s most improved squads has been the tremendous play of an offensive attack that averages 117 points per game.

That seemed an impossible ask with the Warriors, Lakers, Clippers and Suns in the same division. The 7-foot Sabonis is averaging 18.9 points per game on 61% shooting, 12.6 rebounds (first in league) and 7.1 assists – almost Nikola Jokic numbers. Sacramento's turnaround from laughingstock status might have started last February when it acquired Sabonis from Indiana in a trade involving guards Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield, among others. That's the longest drought in the league by far.
