The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Warriors 138-136 and Jazz 134-120 to bounce back from their 110-101 loss to the Rockets. The Oklahoma City Thunder are scoring 112.8 points on 44% of shots while giving up 120.4 points on 49.2% of their shots. Jalen Williams averages 17.8 points and 4.2 rebounds, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averages 30.4 points and 6.2 assists. The third player to score in double figures is Chet Holmgren, and Josh Giddey is pulling down six rebounds. The Thunder outplayed the Jazz in their last game from the beginning, jumping out to an early double-digit lead and shooting 52% from the field and 18 of 38 from three. In the 3rd quarter, they outscored the Jazz by as much as 38 points before resting their starters.

 

 

The Sacramento Kings, meantime, have been playing well; they have prevailed in 5 of their past 8 matches overall. However, they will be looking to win this one after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Clippers on the road in their last game, losing 119-99. Domantas Sabonis scored 15 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists, while Keegan Murray topped the club with 17 points. The Kings made 10 of 37 from 3-point range and 41% from the field as a team, but after trailing 70-48 at the half, it was clear early on in this game that they would always be up against it. Regarding the Kings, center Alex Len (ankle) is still out, and big man Trey Lyles (illness) has been designated as questionable. They can force 14.1 turnovers a game and let opponents shoot 49.2% (ranked 27th in the league) from the field. However, their rivals are making 79.7% of their attempts from the free throw line, while the Sacramento defense is giving up 38.0% of their 3-point attempts.
