The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. This is the first of a three-game homestand for OKC. It’s also the second night of a road-and-home back-to-back. This will be the first matchup of the season between the two squads.
The Thunder (4-0) almost had a letdown in their 101-94 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. They had a 22-point lead that was almost erased. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a forgettable 23 points and eight rebounds. Chet Holmgren finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Kings (1-2) were on the wrong side of a historic performance. They dropped a 127-120 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In it, Austin Reaves went off for a jaw-dropping 51 points. He went 21-of-22 on free throws. Zach LaVine had 32 points in the defeat.
Because they’re on a back-to-back, the Thunder have yet to submit their injury report. That said, we know a few absences. Kenrich Williams (knee surgery) is out. Nikola Topic (testicular surgery) is out. Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out.
Meanwhile, the Kings are mostly healthy. Keegan Murray (thumb UCL injury recovery) is out. Nique Clifford (hamstring strain) is out. Isaiah Stevens (G League two-way) is out. Daeqwon Plowden (G League two-way) is out.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is set for 7 p.m. CT.
