Analysis

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is set to play his first game since March 31 and his return couldn’t come at a better time with the Thunder sitting just a game back in the Northwest Division standings after going just 1-3 straight-up in their past four games. This is the first home game for the Thunder after a five-game road trip, hosting a Kings team who is playing the last of a four-game road trip. When SGA's return was announced, we saw a swift move toward the Thunder in the betting market. That hasn't necessarily been a bad thing for the Kings this season. Sacramento is 14-8 against the spread as a road underdog this season. Gilgeous-Alexander's return is certainly big, but Oklahoma City is still not operating at full strength. Jalen Williams has missed some time and he is listed as questionable for tonight. Gordon Hayward has already been rules out. The Kings still have plenty to play for as they are just one game back of the top-six in the West, which would help them avoid the play-in round. With Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter sidelined for Sacramento, the Kings have leaned on their defense. The under is 13-3 in Sacramento's last 16 games, and the return of SGA will boost Oklahoma City's defense.
