What you need to know about the Kings

Sunday's game between Memphis and Sacramento was up for grabs at halftime, but the Kings were thoroughly outmatched in the second half. Memphis outscored Sacramento 78-52 after the intermission, resulting in a 127-102 final. One thing holding the Kings back was the mediocre play of point guard De'Aaron Fox, who turned the ball over seven times.

Fox had missed the previous four games due to the league's health and safety protocols. He was held to just 12 points in 30 minutes and was one turnover shy of his career worst. The Kings have now lost three straight games and seven of their last nine. 

What you need to know about the Thunder

Oklahoma City is coming off a 117-112 win over New Orleans on Sunday. Shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 31 points and five assists in addition to three blocks. He is averaging 27.5 points over his past four games and is scoring 25.9 points per game in the month of December. 

The Thunder have not been a good offensive team, as they are worst in the league in points per game (100.1). Aaron Wiggins scored a career-high 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting in the win over New Orleans after entering the contest with a previous best of just six points. Oklahoma City picked up a 105-103 win over the Kings on Nov. 12.
