The Oklahoma City Thunder has the chance to extend its winning streak beyond two games as they hit the road for the first time since their second game of the season. The team travels to Sacramento to take on the Kings in its second in-season tournament matchup this season.

Having lost its first in-season tournament matchup, this one is huge for the Thunder. The group the Thunder landed in is incredibly competitive and they'll likely have to win the rest of their games to have a chance at Las Vegas in early December.

With the way the Thunder has been playing this season, this could be a fun matchup in the late-night slate of games.

Injury Report

Thunder:

Kenrich Williams, OUT (back)

Keyontae Johnson, OUT (G League)

Kings:

De'Aaron Fox, OUT (ankle)

Trey Lyles, OUT (calf)


Fox being out is a huge, huge hit for the Kings. They're without their offensive conductor and go-to clutch time guy. If this game is close towards the end of the game, the Kings will need someone to step up and take over, which is no easy task.

The Thunder still has no new injuries, but Johnson is making his G League debut tonight in his first bit of real action this season. 

Williams' production continues to be missed, but it's opened up more opportunities for younger guys, and the team will be more well-off when Williams makes his return to the court.

Updated Odds:

With Fox out, Oklahoma City is a 1.5-point underdog. Playing the Kings in Sacramento is no easy task, but they're without their best player. Still, the Kings are capable of playing team-oriented basketball similarly to the Thunder, and they're able to hold their own without Fox on the court.

Still, the Thunder is in a good position to go steal a game on the road in this one.
