The Oklahoma City Thunder is the NBA’s hottest team right now, winning 10 of the last 11 games, and they continue with their current road trip after defeating the Suns in Phoenix on Saturday. Tonight, the Thunder will take on the Kings in Sacramento. The Kings got the best of the Thunder 131-120 in OKC’s home opener earlier this season, and tonight will be a chance at a little bit of redemption.

Meanwhile, the Kings have been a bit up and down in their season. After starting the year 6-3, Sacramento has won just 2 of their last 7, and rumors are spreading that the Kings’ front office is unhappy with head coach Dave Joerger.

The Thunder is the favorite in tonight’s matchup, but the Kings should not be overlooked.
