The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-0) look to keep their perfect start intact when they welcome the Sacramento Kings (1-2) to Paycom Center on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET.

Sacramento has stumbled out of the gate, losing two of its first three contests and searching for consistency after a disappointing 127-120 home loss to a shorthanded Lakers squad on Sunday. The Kings showed flashes of offensive rhythm but struggled to close out late, something they’ll need to clean up quickly against a hot Thunder team.

On the other hand, Oklahoma City remains unbeaten to start the season and will try to extend its winning streak to five after grinding out a 101-94 road win over the Mavericks on Monday night. The reigning champs continue to look sharp on both ends of the floor, using their depth and defense to stay ahead of the pack in the early going.
