Thunder Look To Bounce Back On Second Night Of Back-To-Back
The Sacramento Kings play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden 1 Center on Sunday evening.

This marks the second game of back-to-back for the Thunder (21-47), as they are coming off an ugly loss in Golden State on Saturday night. They trailed by 12 points after the first quarter and were down by 25 points, at halftime. Things got worse for the Thunder in the third quarter, as they fell behind by another 14 points, to make the deficit 39, heading into the final frame. The Thunder had no answers in the fourth and took their sixth straight loss in blowout fashion. Svi Mykhailiuk led the way with 17 points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists, in the loss, while Luguentz Dort followed up with 16 points and four rebounds, and Jaylen Hoard and Kenrich Williams added 13 points each. The Thunder will look to bounce back and end the slide, as they face the third game of a four-game road trip. They are, 12-22, on the road.

Meanwhile, the Kings (29-38) have won six of their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss in their most recent contest. They will look to get back on track and add to their, 14-19, home record, as they face the second game of a three-game home stand. Tyrese Haliburton (knee) will be sidelined, while De'Aaron Fox (illness) and Harrison Barnes (groin) are both listed as questionable for action. Buddy Hield is averaging 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists, while Richaun Holmes averages 14.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. The Kings have been solid on the offensive end, averaging 114.3 points per game, while shooting an average of 48.3 percent from the field, which is fifth best in the league, but they are giving up a league-worst 119.0 points per game.
