The OKC Thunder will be seeking to get back to winning ways in the NBA when they host the Sacramento Kings next. They come into the match sitting fourth in the Western Conference, four and a half games above Sacramento in fifth. The Thunder have lost their last two matches which have all been away from home. Returning home where they are 20-6 should have Mike Daigneault’s men confident of bouncing back. They were blown out by the Mavericks in Dallas last time out and lost by 35 after giving up 146 points to their hosts. New signing Gordon Hayward will not be available for this match due to injury. The former Charlotte Hornets forward hasn’t played this year. OKC are averaging 122.8 points when at home.

The Sacramento Kings have won the last eight matchups with the Thunder. This season they have already defeated them twice with both matches having them as hosts. Mike Brown’s men, who got back to winning ways last time out, will be confident of another victory here. The Kings put to a halt a two-game skid with a dominant performance over the Nuggets at home. They won by 29 after tallying 135 points. It was the fourth time in five outings that they had scored at least 120 points. Chris Duarte has been listed as ‘Questionable’ for this game. He has missed the last two games due to an ankle issue. The Kings are averaging 115.9 points when away from home.
