What to Know

This Tuesday, the Sacramento Kings are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.71 points per matchup. Their homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at 10 p.m. ET May 11 at Golden 1 Center. The Kings have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

Oklahoma City is out to make up for these teams' game on Sunday. Sacramento put the hurt on Oklahoma City with a sharp 126-98 win. With Sacramento ahead 71-51 at the half, the contest was all but over already. They can attribute much of their success to shooting guard Terence Davis, who had 18 points and seven assists, and shooting guard Buddy Hield, who had 14 points and seven assists in addition to five boards.

Sacramento's victory lifted them to 30-38 while Oklahoma City's loss dropped them down to 21-48. If Sacramento want to win on Tuesday, they will need to focus on stopping the Thunder's small forward Jaylen Hoard, who had 16 points along with five rebounds, and center Moses Brown, who had 12 points in addition to nine rebounds and three blocks. We'll see whether or not they are up to the challenge.
