Oklahoma City Thunder will lock horns with the Sacramento Kings in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 2 February.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 254th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1967 when the Thunder were established.
The City Thunder have dominated this rivalry having recorded 152 wins compared to the Kings' 101 victories from 253 games.
Most recent meeting
Oklahoma City Thunder secured a 130-109 win over the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center on 26 November.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 37 points and the City Thunder's bench players combined for 40 points.
Key Players
The player to watch out for in the City Thunder team is in-form Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a career-high 54 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks in a 123–114 win over the Utah Jazz on 22 January.
If there is one player who can propel the Kings to a win over the City Thunder it's De'Aaron Fox who is just the third player in NBA history to score at least 109 over two days, joining Kobe Bryant (2007) and Wilt Chamberlain (17 different times).
Quotes
“Are we going to still struggle from time to time? Yes, but this needs to happen to show a lot of things that we talk about," Kings' interim coach Doug Christie said about his side's inconsistency.
"We’re able to do. Now, we need to do it with the consistency, the intensity and the violent aggression, in my opinion, that needs to be there to win games at this level.”
