The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel on the road to face the Sacramento Kings on Friday. It’s the third game of a four-game road trip for OKC. This will be the second matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC won the first matchup on Oct. 28.

This game will also count toward the 2025 NBA Cup. Both teams are part of the West’s Group A.

The Thunder (8-1) dropped their first defeat in a 121-119 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. After creating a 22-point lead, the short-handed squad slowly lost control. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points but on 10-of-26 shooting. Three starters were out in Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Lu Dort.

Meanwhile, the Kings (3-5) beat the Curry-less Golden State Warriors in a 121-116 win on Wednesday. Russell Westbrook had a throwback with a 23-point triple-double. DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points.

Thunder 115, Kings 108: Since the Thunder became an NBA powerhouse, they’ve seldom lost two in a row. Don’t expect that to start now. They will get some help with Holmgren’s return. Possibly Dort, too. The first matchup between these teams came down to the final moments. Expect a similar script. The Kings have enough scorers to make things interesting, especially at home. But Gilgeous-Alexander will prove why he’s the best player on the floor and carry OKC to another win and bounce back from its first taste of a loss.

ODDS: Thunder by 10.5 points
