TONIGHT’S GAMEKings (19-40) at Thunder (42-16) Time: 5 p.m. Where: Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City TV: CSNCA Radio: KHTK (1140 AM), KAHI (950 AM)THREE KEYS 1. Steady early: Oklahoma City is 24-6 at home, and the Kings are 5-25 away. Sacramento can’t allow the Thunder to jump out to a big lead and allow the crowd to be a factor. 2. Center of attention: DeMarcus Cousins has scored fewer than 10 points just 10 times this season, but three have come in the past five games. The Kings need more production from Cousins to have a chance of winning. 3. Tough draw: Tyreke Evans, 6-foot-6, will start the game defending MVP candidate Kevin Durant, a 6-10 small forward who is one of the league’s toughest matchups.PROBABLE STARTERSKINGSNo. Player Pos. 22 Isaiah Thomas G 23 Marcus Thornton G 13 Tyreke Evans F 34 Jason Thompson F 15 DeMarcus Cousins C THUNDERNo. Player Pos. 0 Russell Westbrook G 2 Thabo Sefolosha G 35 Kevin Durant F 9 Serge Ibaka F 5 Kendrick Perkins C Jason Jones © Copyright The Sacramento Bee.
