Thunder and Kings Battle Out West
The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday night.

The Thunder (28-20) have largely been playing quality basketball since the calendar flipped to 2020, as they just saw a five-game winning streak snapped their most recent time on the court Monday night. Oklahoma City was upended by the Dallas Mavericks by a 107-97 score. Dennis Schroder paced the Thunder with 21 points, complementing them with seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander posted 16 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and one block. Danilo Gallinari finished with 14 points, six assists, five rebounds and one steal. Deonte Burton poured in 11 points.
The Thunder will remain without Terrance Ferguson (personal) and Andre Roberson (knee) for Wednesday's game. Abdel Nader (ankle) will be listed as questionable.

The Kings (17-29) have been mostly heading in the opposite direction as their opponents, as they just snapped a six-game losing streak by recording back-to-back wins. Sacramento's most recent victory was a thrilling overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. Buddy Hield led the way with a career-high 42 points, adding five rebounds and three assists. De'Aron Fox furnished 22 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal. Nemanja Bjelica supplied 20 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals. Kent Bazemore poured in 15 points, while Harrison Barnes registered 12 points, four rebounds and two assists.

The Kings will remain without Marvin Bagley (foot) and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) for Wednesday's contest.

Wednesday's game marks the second of three meetings between the teams this season. The Kings hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 94-93 win Dec. 11.
