Lu Dort has returned after missing the Thunder’s comfortable victory against the Utah Jazz in their most recent meeting. He is back now, and his perimeter defense will be very helpful against De’Aaron Fox, who was not present in the team’s previous meeting.

The Kings are the Thunder’s 2.5-point favorites. It makes sense that they started as a 1.5-point favorite given that they prevailed in their previous meeting with the opposing squad. Nevertheless, the Thunder might get some amazing momentum.
Since their last game, the Thunder have gained a lot of momentum and have been playing well, thus one would think their offensive output will improve. Nonetheless, the Kings will be able to match the offensive output now that Fox is back in the starting lineup.
