Analysis: The Sacramento Kings picked up a surprising victory over the Nuggets the last time they took the floor, but it is the Oklahoma City Thunder that are playing the better brand of basketball at the moment, despite not having superstar swingman Kevin Durant.

I like the Over first and foremost in this matchup and the Thunder to cover despite being on the road.
