The Thunder head into Sacramento tonight hoping to avenge the disappointing loss they suffered in SacTown a little over a month ago. The Kings won that one 122-118 in overtime. OKC beat them a week later at home 116-113, but this time we need to beat them on the road.
Both teams are coming off of big wins, but the Kings win was bigger. The Kings knocked off Denver on Sunday something that the Thunder have come close to doing twice and hope to do on Wednesday. The Thunder defeated the 76ers in their last game and have won 4 of their last 5. All of those games have been without Durant.
Durant and Green are questionable for tonight's game. Robert Swift is expected to be back tonight.
Although the Kings currently hold the NBA's worst record, their style of play presents a difficult challenge for the Thunder. The Kings have scored 100+ points in 31 of their games which is tied for second among the bottom 15 teams in the league. OKC struggles to win when their opponents hit the triple digits, and so avoiding a high scoring affair is a near-must for the Thunder.
