*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday evening, January 19th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, January 20th.
OKC Thunder
In case the residing elite of the West didn’t get the memo the Thunder sent let me be the first to verify the Thunder have arrived and are at the precipice of being in the mix for several years.
Diving into the West dynamics Denver, and Memphis are the upper crust of the Conference. Although the next tier I coined the parity pack is one large group it can be divided into two sub-segments.
The perennial contenders with OG superstars such as the Warriors, Blazers, and LA teams versus teams comprised primarily of new young stars like the Pelicans, Kings, and Thunder.
Stats
OKC allows 115.8 points per game ranking 20th. They allow opponents to shoot 46.3% from the field and 35.5% from deep which ranks ranking fifth and 11th respectively.
On the positive side, the Thunder scores 117.0 points per game which rank seventh overall. So far, in terms of shooting efficiency, they rank 20th from the field shooting 46.6%, and 16th from the perimeter shooting 35.8%.
At this time, Ousmane Dieng and Eugene Omoruyi are on G League assignment. Aleksej Pokusevski (leg), and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) are out. Chet Holmgren, (foot surgery) will miss the entire season.
Sacramento Kings
During the home stand the Kings took advantage pulling up to third and while they trail the two frontrunners (Nuggets, Grizzlies) there is an opportunity to create space between themselves and the rest of the chase group.
New Orleans is the team closest to them but they’re battling injuries as are many in the parity pack (Warriors, Mavericks Clippers, Suns, Lakers).
Stats
Offensively, the Kings are among the very best in the association with the highest scoring output averaging 119.9 points per game. Similarly, they perform well in the proficiency areas registering 49.3% from the field and 36.7% from deep ranking fourth and 10th.
Sacramento ranks 24th in opponent scoring allowing 116.9 points per game while foes shoot 48.9% from the field and 35.9% from the perimeter ranking 28th and 15th respectively.
Domantas Sabonis (illness), Alex Len (illness), and Matthew Dellavedova (illness) are questionable for Friday.

Free OKC Thunder vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
These are two of the hottest teams over the last 15 to 20 games but while the Kings have racked up wins versus lower-tier squads the Thunder have been beating the upper echelon and winning on the road.
OKC begins the day sitting in ninth and only 1.5 out of the fifth seed (yes, you read that correctly). With that type of motivation and Sabonis being questionable, not only will I take the points I’ll bet on the Thunder winning the match.
