The Oklahoma City Thunder (8-5) wrap up their West Coast road trip in Sacramento on Sunday, taking on the Kings (1-11). OKC’s loss to the LA Clippers on Friday marked the Thunder’s 3rd straight loss. OKC hadn’t lost three straight games since April 2024, but now they have a chance to get back on track against one of the worst teams in the league.
This is a big spread for a team that is on a 3-game losing streak, but the Kings have lost 8 games by at least 11 points already this season. Even in the losses, OKC has shown spots of winning basketball, and it feels like they’re on the brink of figuring some things out. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was pretty brilliant against the Clippers a couple of days ago, but the main issue has been the defense. As soon as Mark Daigneault figures out rotations a little better, the Thunder will start rolling, and this game feels like a good one to move in that direction.
