Oklahoma City @ Sacramento

Current Records: Oklahoma City 21-47; Sacramento 29-38

The Oklahoma City Thunder need to shore up a defense that is allowing 115.54 points per matchup before their game on Sunday. They might have tired legs after a contest yesterday as they head on the road against the Sacramento Kings at 10 p.m. ET May 9 at Golden 1 Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 136-97, which was the final score in Oklahoma City's tilt against the Golden State Warriors this past Saturday. Oklahoma City was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 73-48. The top scorers for the Thunder were shooting guard Svi Mykhailiuk (17 points) and small forward Luguentz Dort (16 points).

Meanwhile, Sacramento came up short against the San Antonio Spurs this past Friday, falling 113-104. A silver lining for the Kings was the play of shooting guard Terence Davis, who had 24 points.

Oklahoma City is expected to lose this next one by 9. Now might not be the best time to take Oklahoma City against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Oklahoma City is now 21-47 while Sacramento sits at 29-38. The Thunder are 14-32 after losses this year, Sacramento 14-23.

The Kings are a big 9-point favorite against the Thunder, according to the latest NBA odds.

The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Kings as a 9.5-point favorite.
