Kings Without Several Key Pieces in Matchup With Thunder
The OKC Thunder will take on the Sacramento Kings Sunday night, currently sitting on a six-game losing streak. After losing to the Warriors on Saturday night, the Thunder will have the chance at getting back on the right track on the second night of a back-to-back.
For the Kings, who are on the outside looking in at the playoff tournament, this is a huge matchup. However, they will be without quite a few of their primary contributors in this first matchup against the Thunder.
Oklahoma City is also banged up, with Lu Dort marked as out alongside Ty Jerome. On the positive side of things, Aleksej Pokusevski has been upgraded to questionable, although his rookie teammate Theo Maledon is a new name on the injury report and listed as questionable as well.
Here is the most recent injury report for Thunder-Kings:
