The Sacramento Kings (24-23) have been up and down over the last week, and things won't get much easier for them on Saturday night. They will hit the road to square off against the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, the OKC Thunder (37-9).
Doug Christie's team has alternated wins and losses in their last three games. They dropped their last game vs. the Philadelphia 76ers. Moreover, De'Aaron Fox's trade speculations have raised questions about their short-term future.
Likewise, the Thunder have also alternated wins and losses in their last three games. They lost to the Golden State Warriors in their last game, and they'll look to bounce back and get their 38th win of the season.
