Thunder (2-game winning streak)
105.6 Offensive Efficiency (3rd)

95.8 Pace (5th)

Kings (1-game losing streak)
95.5 Offensive Efficiency (26th)
104.8 Defensive Efficiency (27th)
95.7 Pace (7th)

This will be the first meeting of four between the Thunder and Kings this season. The Kings are a mess this season while the Thunder have the best record in the league. The Thunder have had to go down to the wire in their last two games on the road at Portland and at Golden State. The Thunder pulled out the victory each time with some good fortune. This game will be on national television on TNT tonight but there’s really no reason for the Kings to compete with Oklahoma City. The Thunder should be able to win this one easily and not have to play their stars too many minutes so that they can be rested for Utah Friday night.
