In their second meeting this season the OKC Thunder will face the Sacramento Kings. In the initial meeting, the Kings won 105-98.
OKC arrives having last played Monday in a 134-120 victory versus the Jazz while the Kings finished a back-to-back set on Tuesday losing 119-99 to the Clippers.
Season Series
Last season, the Kings won the regular season series sweeping all three matches while OKC holds the all-time record having bested the Kings in 149 of their 249 matches.
The clubs will play again in OKC on February 11th and April 9th.
OKC Thunder
It’s been a productive quarter-season for the Thunder who hold the second seed in the Western Conference. OKC is the only West team that ranks top-10 in both offense and defense joining three Eastern clubs (Celtics, 76ers, Knicks) who’ve accomplished that feat.
The big question for the Thunder is whether Sam Presti will move off his pre-season stance of being patient to see what they have. Given how well his squad is playing making a minor tweak at the deadline could be warranted.
It wouldn’t need to be a sweeping change either. Rather, adding a veteran big man who could help with rebounding (they rank 29th on the offensive and 30th on the defensive glass) and defending players like Nikola Jokic could raise the bar.

Thunder Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Luguentz Dort, SG (upgraded to probable –ankle)
Sacramento Kings
Matchups are everything — just ask the Kings who have lost all three meetings against the Pelicans but are 9-1 against all other clubs who are two games over .500 with the one loss coming on the second night of a back-to-back versus the Clippers.
It speaks to the vulnerability of the Kings when they face deep rosters, and especially ones reeking with athleticism. Sure feels like the Kings will be shopping to add wings who can defend and help to protect the paint (rank 22nd at opponent PIP).
Kings Stats
To this point in the season, the Kings rank 14th offensively (114.5), and 20th defensively (115.0), with a net differential of minus -0.5 also ranking 20th overall
Sacramento performs better in the win/loss column than they do against the spread with a 10-12 ATS record through 22 games.
Kings Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Alex Len, C (OUT indefinitely —ankle)

Free OKC Thunder vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
Neither team excels on the glass so whoever wins that category and second chance scoring will have the edge in this match. OKC already has the edge given their top sixth and fifth offense/defense rankings.
As noted above, the Kings have won all games (except one) against teams who are two plus games above .500 but the Thunder represent the Achilles heel of Sacramento which is an athletic team with a deep roster that ranks first in 3-point percentage. For that reason, I’ll take OKC and the points.
