OKC vs SAC Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Sacramento Kings’ playoff aspirations will face yet another stern test when they host Western Conference giants Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA match at Golden 1 Center, in Sacramento, California, on Thursday morning (IST).
Sacramento Kings:
Sacramento Kings’ topsy-turvy season took its expected meandering curve as they lost big-time 132-105 against Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Centre.
After giving a close fight to Golden State Warriors in their 125-130 home loss just a few days ago, Kings returned to winning ways against Dallas Mavericks, beating them 113-120 on the road.
So another win was expected when they faced Minnesota Timberwolves.
But inconsistency has been the only consistent mark for Sacramento this season, and once again it came back to haunt them in the last match.
Kings were so substandard that no player, except Buddy Hield, in the starting five, could touch the double point mark. While it was the 2nd unit which brought some parity into the game as the bench combined for a massive 75 points in the match.
Sacramento are 9th in the Western Conference with 16 wins from the first 30 games. They are level on wins with 8th placed Memphis Grizzlies.
Oklahoma City Thunder:
Oklahoma City Thunder ended their two-game home stretch with a big 121-96 win over Chicago Bulls. This was their third win in the last six games and kept the team on 3rd in the Western Conference.
The game was almost one-sided but not without spices. With a 21 points lead in the bag for Thunder, a scuffle started in the 3rd quarter, instigated by Russell Westbrook’s little push to Kris Dunn, with the latter retaliating with a hard shove and then the tempers flared with the teammates jumping in to make the situation even worse for the officials. Robin Lopez and Jerami Grant took beyond the court and almost towards the courtside fans.
For some, it was the nothing but frustrations shown by Chicago Bulls players for their pathetic season so far. The once indomitable are now lingering at 14th in the Eastern Conference.
For Oklahoma City Thunder, Paul George was a star performer once again, dropping a game-high 24 points in the match while Russell Westbrook scored yet another triple-double as he ended with 13 points, 11 assists and 16 rebounds in the match.
