The OKC Thunder will continue the 2025-26 NBA season with a home game against the Sacramento Kings at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
OKC (4-0) fended off Dallas on Monday to earn a 101-94 road win. The Thunder will be without Chet Holmgren (lower back soreness), but Alex Caruso is no longer on the injury report after missing the last three games while in concussion protocol.
Sacramento (1-2) is looking to bounce back from a 127-120 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. The Kings have five former Thunder players on their roster, including recently-signed guard Russell Westbrook.

Thunder vs Kings predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 119, Sacramento 108
OKC scored a season-high 68 points in the paint during its win over Dallas. Next up is a game against Sacramento, which ranks 21st in the NBA in points allowed in the paint per game (55.3). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should dismantle the defense with drives to the rim. And even without Chet Holmgren, the Thunder should improve to 5-0 on the season.
