Thunder vs Kings predictions, picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 119, Sacramento 106

OKC fell short against Portland on Wednesday in what marked the second night of a back-to-back, but it should be rested entering Friday’s matchup against Sacramento. The Thunder will also have Chet Holmgren, who didn’t play during its 107-101 home win over the Kings on Oct. 28. In addition to being another strong scoring threat, Holmgren is another rebounding threat Sacramento will have to deal with on a night when it won’t have Domantas Sabonis. Give me OKC on the road in this one.
