The Thunder have lost all hope of re-gaining the first seed, and are left with two lame duck games before the playoffs. Adding to the malaise is the fact that Scott Brooks usually rests his players during the second half of games like this.

The Kings have gotten thrashed by the Thunder in their past two encounters despite winning the first matchup. The team has essentially mailed it in for the seasons, only winning against teams that are terrible.

Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder 109, Sacramento Kings 98
