The Oklahoma City Thunder start a four-game homestand to finish their regular season by welcoming the Sacramento Kings. It’s the fourth matchup of the season between the squads.
The Thunder (53-25) welcome back Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from a four-game absence. The MVP candidate was not listed on OKC’s injury report.
Jalen Williams (ankle sprain) remains questionable. Gordon Hayward (posterior tibialis strain) is out. Ousmane Dieng, Keyontae Johnson, Olivier Sarr and Adam Flagler are on assignment in the G League.
The King (45-33) continue to be without two of their top rotation players. Kevin Huerter (shoulder surgery) and Malik Monk (knee sprain) are out. Jordan Ford (G League two-way) is also out.
In their last contest, OKC snapped a three-game losing streak with a close win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. This will be the first night of the final back-to-back for the Thunder.
Meanwhile, Sacramento collected a much-needed win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. It is hoping to avoid the play-in tournament.
OKC hopes to split the season series after collecting a win in the teams’ last meeting on Feb. 11.
Tip off from Oklahoma City is set for 7 p.m. CT.
