OKC Thunder predicted lineup:
Chris Paul, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Danilo Gallinari, Steven Adams
Sacramento Kings preview
The Sacramento Kings host the Thunder and will look to their last clash for inspiration. That’s when the Kings came back from an 11 point deficit to win 94-93 after a clutch three-pointer from Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Kings were on a six-game losing streak but that has been turned around with two consecutive wins against Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Key player – Buddy Hield
Buddy Hield scored a career-high 42 points the last time he took to the court for the Kings. It led to a comeback win against the Timberwolves after trailing them by 17 points at one time. He also became the third-ever player to score 40 points or more and make 9 or more threes from the bench. He’s averaging 20.5 points, 3.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game this season while shooting at an accuracy of 37.3% from beyond the arc.
Sacramento Kings predicted lineup:
De’Aaron Fox, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Harrison Barnes, Nemanja Bjelica, Dewayne Dedmon
Thunder vs Kings match prediction
This promises to be an exciting match with quality young players as well as seasoned veterans on show. The atrocious Kings defense will have to come up with a plan to slow down the Thunder offense who has been averaging over 116 points in their last three games.
