What to Know
The Oklahoma City Thunder may be playing at home Monday, but the experts are forecasting a 4.5-point defeat. They will take on the Sacramento Kings at 8 p.m. ET at Paycom Center after having had a few days off. The Thunder aren’t favored, but they just beat the odds in their last contest, so don’t count them out.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Oklahoma City ultimately got the result they were hoping for this past Friday with a 129-125 victory over the Indiana Pacers. It was another big night for Oklahoma City’s shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 36 points and five assists along with eight boards.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 59-59 at halftime, but Sacramento was not quite the Denver Nuggets’ equal in the second half when they met this past Saturday. Sacramento was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 115-110 to Denver. The losing side was boosted by point guard De’Aaron Fox, who posted a double-double on 26 points and ten dimes in addition to five rebounds.
Oklahoma City’s win lifted them to 19-41 while Sacramento’s loss dropped them down to 22-40. Allowing an average of 115.08 points per game, the Kings haven’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming matchup.
