Yahoo Sports Updates: The Latest News and Updates on Sports

On NBA TV, fans are in for a thrilling nightcap as the Kings and Thunder come face-to-face. This highly-anticipated match will showcase the incredible talent of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pitted against the formidable De'Aaron Fox. Get ready for a fierce battle on the court between these two dynamic players.

The Sacramento Kings are 0-3 in the last three games and 1-4 in the past five as they've recovered from the DeMar DeRozan injury. The Kings are 8-9 and have DeRozan back for this matchup with the Thunder. This is the second night of a back-to-back for the Kings after losing the Nets 108-103 last night.

Oklahoma City last played on Wednesday, so they're well-rested entering this game, while Sacramento is on the second night of a back-to-back. The Thunder are 4-2 in the last six games and have stayed above the water without Chet Holmgren as Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have handled the scoring.

With that said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Oklahoma City to go Over their First Half Team Total of 56.5 in Sacramento:

"Sacramento has the worst-rated first-half defense at home in the NBA with a 117.4 defensive net rating. Over the last five games overall, the Kings are 26th in the NBA with a 132.3 defensive net rating in the first half, so they are getting worse.

Oklahoma City is coming in having played on Wednesday, whereas Sacramento played last night and lost to the Nets (108-103). The Thunder have a major rest advantage and despite not having Chet Holmgren, OKC has won four of the past six games.

The Thunder's offense hasn't looked great over the last two games, but they've averaged between 54 and 56 first-half points per game over the previous three to six games. This number is a little too low for this stellar spot for the Thunder. I like OKC's first half Team Total Over 56.5 points."

Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Thunder and the Kings:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Oklahoma City on the ML (-180)

· Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Oklahoma City -4 on the spread

· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 225.5 points
