The Thunder are 10.5-point road favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the total set at 223.5 points. At the time of publishing, 96% of Moneyline bets are on the Thunder, who are also getting 71% of bets against the spread.
On the injury report, the Thunder list Ajay Mitchell as questionable, while Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams all remain out. The Kings listed Keegan Murray as available, while Precious Achiuwa is questionable.
Let’s take a closer look at Sunday’s matchup and find a few Thunder-Kings player props worth considering.
Thunder at Kings Props at DraftKings Sportsbook
Aday Mara 10+ Points (-124)
While all the injuries have made it a tough start to the year for Oklahoma City, one bright spot has been the play of rookie Aday Mara. Mara was the Thunder’s No. 12 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft out of Michigan.
Through 13 games, the 21-year-old from Spain has averaged 8.6 points in 21.3 minutes per game. He has scored double-digit points in four straight games and started three of those contests. He had a career-high 18 points against the Wizards in Washington and played a career-high 32 minutes on Wednesday against the Clippers.
With more work available while Holmgren and Jaylin Williams are out, Mara has been a key contributor for the Thunder. Furthermore, the Kings have been vulnerable to opposing centers this season, setting up Mara to reach this threshold on Sunday.
Zach LaVine Under 19.5 Points (-115)
The Kings got a hot start to the season from LaVine, but he has cooled off lately, and the Thunder are still strong defensively on the wing. LaVine scored at least 20 points in each of the first five games of the season, but he has been held under this point total in three of his last four games.
LaVine did have 31 points against the Magic on Tuesday, but he only had 12 points in his most recent game — which came on Friday against Portland in an NBA Cup matchup.
So far this season, LaVine is getting enough minutes to score plenty of points, but he has cooled off lately with fewer shots and more of the Kings’ scoring coming from Darius Acuff Jr. and De’Andre Hunter over the last few games.
De’Andre Hunter 15+ Points (+109)
Hunter scored 15 and 24 points in the last two games and has 15+ points in five of his last eight contests. Hunter played a team-high 42 minutes in that 24-point game on Friday against the Trail Blazers. His usage has been on the rise, and the Kings are looking for any offense they can find after their slow start.
Hunter has scored at least 14 points in seven of eight games, so getting 15+ at plus-money odds is a great option, even though the Thunder are not a favorable matchup for small forwards.
Bonus Parlay Play: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander under 5.5 Assists (-136)
If you are assembling a Same Game Parlay (SGP), adding in this under on SGA’s assists boosts the SGP odds to +950 for the four player prop bets in this post. Adding on the booster can take your winnings even higher!
Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 4.5 assists per game this season and has come in under this prop line in 10 of his 13 games to this point. If the game turns into a blowout like oddsmakers expect, SGA has a good chance to come in under this prop line once again.
