Sacramento Kings
Not even the motivation to beat former associate coach Jordi Fernandez on his return to Sacramento as coach of the Brooklyn Nets was enough to reverse the Sacramento Kings' slump. Playing at home, the Kings lost 108-103 to the Nets to slump to an 8-9 record and 4-5 at home. The defeat was the third consecutive loss for a team that had also lost to the Atlanta Hawks and LA Clippers in their previous two. The Kings' last victory was a home victory over the Utah Jazz on November 17, with De’Aaron Fox scoring 49 points to lead the Kings in scoring. Against the Nets, Fox also led by 31 points, but a valiant effort that saw Sacramento make up a 19-point first-half deficit by the third quarter when the game was tied at 88-all came to naught as the Nets ran away with it in the fourth. Having shown a lot of resilience in forcing comebacks this term, the Kings need to learn to take the lead and keep it.

Ranked second in the Western Conference standings, with a 12-4 record this season, Oklahoma returned to winning after snapping a two-game losing streak with a 10-point victory over the Trail Blazers last time out. Jalen Williams led his team with 30 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander helped with 28 points, including 14 of 14 free throws. In comparison, former New York Knicks player Isaiah Hartenstein had a memorable debut with a double-double of 13 points and 14 rebounds as the Thunder powered past the Trailblazers in the fourth quarter to win 109-99. The debutant added bulk and blocks to the OKC defense and made up for the absence of injured Chet Holmgren.
