OKC Thunder Look to End Two Game Skid Against Sacramento Kings

The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season by knocking off the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to end a two-game losing streak on Sunday afternoon against the Sacramento Kings. The Thunder are on the verge of going on a three-game losing streak for the first time this season if they can not turn around their troublesome afternoon trend.

ODDS:

The Thunder enter the day as 3.5-point favorites against the Sacramento Kings, and the total over/under is 239.5 points.

KEYS TO THE GAME:

The OKC Thunder have to come out in this game with a greater sense of urgency. So far, the Thunder are 0-3 in afternoon tilts, dropping all of them in embarrassing fashion. This includes Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, which saw the Thunder fall behind by as many as 41 points.

Sacramento has already knocked off the Thunder twice this season, presenting Oklahoma City with one of its more challenging matchups. However, this is their first matchup in Oklahoma. 

The Thunder have to find a way to get their offense back in a groove on Sunday. While the defense was lackluster at best against Dallas, that was more explainable. On the defensive end, it was a drop in energy, effort and some Mavs tough shot making.

However, the Thunder could not cash in open shots offensively and labored to get to their spots in the paint to butter their bread.
