This is the Thunder's final preseason game before starting their regular season next Wednesday. Gametime is 7pm for the Sacramento Kings (1-4) and Oklahoma City Thunder (2-4) at Ford Center in OKC, OK. There is no TV broadcast but you can listen to it on the Thunder Radio Network or attend the game in person.
It sounds like from this article that ex-Thunder's Desmond Mason will be the starting small forward for the Kings this season.

Since they play again opening night, I've no idea what to expect tonight. If this were football, I would expect something very very vanilla.
Is Scott going to play the starters long minutes ?
Plainsman, I think it is different in the NBA as you play all teams 2 to 4 times so it is near impossible to keep any secrets about strategy from the other teams. We'll see all our main guys playing tonight. Frankly, they all need the time playing together to get ready for the season. Durant and Westbrook already look improved individually but I haven't seen much improvement as a team.
I have to disagree. I don't think football teams hide any " secrets " . I think they don't want weaknesses to be exposed.
We've read all off season about Brooks being now able to install his system by going through his first training camp. And I heard Grant Long on the telecast the other night say that the Thunder would not show anything to Sacramento Thursday night.
And IMO, we've not seen anything in the preseason except for players working on their games. It all changes next week.

OH, dude!! That is sweeeeeet!!! ONe of these days, one of these days......
It looks like I'll be there tonight! I'm anxious to see what my new seats look like. I bought them without seeing them, but I was told they were the best $10 seats available at the time.
Section 304. I hope they're not too bad!
