00:00It's a 10 p.m. Eastern game tonight between the Oklahoma City Thunder, the best team in
00:04the Western Conference, and have clinched the number one overall seed, now fighting to keep
00:09ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for home court advantage all the way through the NBA Finals.
00:15The Thunder on the road to take on the Kings, who are getting 10 points at home.
00:20Now, when we look at this game, right, 228.5 is the opening number as a total, up to 231.5 live.
00:258.5 is the favorite for OKC here at FanDuel New Jersey, up to now 10.
00:29But understand this, too, like Sacramento is fighting for their lives to get into the playoffs,
00:33and the NBA is like, hey, we're going to slap you with a back-to-back.
00:35It is at home against the Celtics, who beat you up yesterday,
00:38and now the Oklahoma City Thunder, when you played yesterday, as a double-digit favor.
00:43Anticipated starting lineup looks really good for the Thunder tonight.
00:46SGA, Lou Dort, Williams, Holmgren, and Hartenstein, and then the usual suspects
00:50in the lineup tonight here for Sacramento, Monk, Levine, DeRozan, Murray, and Sabonis.
00:54Now, it is a back-to-back, but it is at home. They lost last night.
00:57Is this a walk-away victory for OKC for you, Joe, or is 10 points too much to lay on the road?
01:05Well, it's, keep an eye on Monk and McDermott are still listed as questionable for this game here
01:11tonight. So, and Sabonis is a big, is he going to go back-to-back? It's the second of a back-to-back,
01:17and this has never been a good spot for Sacramento all year long, and the defense of Sacramento has
01:24been absolutely brutal. I think over the last seven games, they're averaging 124 a game. They're
01:31giving up to teams here. They're allowing them to shoot 50% from three, 53% overall, and if we're
01:39OKC, like you mentioned, we're not a whole heck of a lot at stake here, but they are at home,
01:44and we've already seen them sit all their key guys and still drop 120 or more points on teams.
01:52I think the team total of OKC, if you want nothing to do with the spread,
01:57expect Sacramento's defense to lack, expect OKC, no matter who's playing, to score points.
02:03I saw that 119.5, 120.5. I would go over the team total for OKC tonight at home.
