The Oklahoma City Thunder are on the road on Tuesday night as they look to extend their winning streak against the Sacramento Kings.
Oklahoma City enters Tuesday's contest amid a six-game winning streak and they have also won nine of their last 10 games.
It has been the complete opposite for Sacramento as they have lost three consecutive games and have dropped seven of their last 10 contests.
While the Thunder look to keep up their hot streak, they will have to do so without their star forward Jalen Williams as they have ruled him out once again due to a hip injury.
Chet Holmgren is available today.

Williams was upgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's road matchup and he looked good in pregame warmups, but the Thunder have decided to sit him for another game.
This will be Williams' seventh consecutive missed game and his next chance to play will be on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

While Williams, Wallace and Wiggins will be out on Tuesday, the Thunder did announce that Chet Holmgren will return from a hip injury that kept him sidelined in Sunday's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
With Holmgren back, head coach Mark Daigneault will once again start him and Isaiah Hartenstein in the frontcourt with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort and Kenrich Williams rounding out the starting five.
Fans can catch Tuesday's matchup between the Thunder and Kings at 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
