Thunder Look To End Three-Game Slide
The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Sacramento Kings at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Tuesday evening.

The Thunder (21-44) have dropped nine of their last 10 games, including their last three in a row. They will look to bounce back and improve on their, 9-24, home record, as they face the fourth and final game of their home stand. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot), who has missed over a month of action, will remain sidelined through Tuesday. Darius Bazley continues to play well, averaging 18.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists, over the last 10 games. Luguentz Dort is averaging 14.2 points and 3.7 rebounds, while Theo Maledon is averaging 10.1 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. The Thunder are averaging 105.4 points per game, which is third fewest in the league, and they are shooting an average of 44.3 percent from the field, which is also third worst in the league. They are also struggling on the defensive end, giving up an average of 114.7 points per game, which is seventh most in the league.

Meanwhile, the Kings (27-37) have won their last two in a row, but they are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to keep the momentum going and build on their, 13-19, road record, as they face the third game of a four-game road trip. Tyrese Haliburton (knee) was forced to leave the last contest with an injury and remains questionable for action on Tuesday, while De'Aaron Fox (illness) and Harrison Barnes (groin) are both also listed as questionable for action. Buddy Hield is averaging 16.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists, while Richaun Holmes averages 14.5 points, 8.7 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.
