Pick: 5 units ATS: Oklahoma City Thunder -6.5 (-110)
These teams met just a week ago, with Sacramento pulling out an overtime win at home. However, Oklahoma City is coming off of two straight excellent performances in home games to Denver and Portland. They easily handled the Blazers just two nights ago and will carry that motivation into this game. Meanwhile, Sacramento was completely embarrassed by Phoenix two games ago, so you would have expected them to come out with a strong performance in their next game. However, they lost against Utah as well, even though that game was at home. There is no reason to believe that the Thunder won’t carry their strong play into this game, in a revenge situation against a slumping team. Look for Oklahoma City to get a big home win.
