Injury Report, Updated Odds (12/14): Oklahoma City Thunder at Sacramento Kings

The Oklahoma City Thunder remains the No. 2 team in the Western Conference with a half-a-game lead over the teams behind them. They're also just two games behind the Minnesota Timberwolves, the No. 1 team in the West.

At 15-7 on the season, the Thunder's matchup against the Sacramento Kings could prove to be a big game for the team. The Kings are 13-9 on the season and coming off a 20-point loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Kings are a 7-3 team in their home arena and will pose a tough test for the Thunder. In the first matchup between these two teams, the Kings edged the Thunder 105-98.

Injury Report:

Thunder:

Keyontae Johnson, OUT (G League)

Kings:

Alex Len, OUT (Ankle)

Trey Lyles, Questionable (Illness)

Lu Dort is back after missing the last game against the Utah Jazz, a game he could afford to miss as the Thunder won the game handily. Now, he returns as his perimeter defense will be of great use against De'Aaron Fox, who didn't play in the last matchup between the two teams.

The Kings aren't without any key contributors from the last time these two teams met, and, as mentioned, are getting the services of Fox this time around.

Updated Odds:

The Kings are 2.5-point favorites over the Thunder. They opened as a 1.5-point favorite, which makes sense considering they won the last matchup between the two teams. Still, the Thunder could capture some incredible momentum.

The Thunder has captured quite a bit of momentum and has been in good form since the last matchup, so one would assume they'll perform better offensively. With Fox back in the lineup for the Kings, though, they'll be able to match the offensive performance.

This game has the early makings of a high-paced shootout.
