Sacramento Kings’ Playoff Standings and Potential Matchups

Despite remaining eighth in the Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings (42-31) have lost the tie-breaker between the two teams due to their back-to-back losses to the Dallas Mavericks. As a result, they now trail behind Dallas (44-29) by two games in the standings.

Despite being 0.5 games behind the Phoenix Suns, the LA Lakers (41-33) have a chance to catch up due to their less challenging schedule. If the Kings hold onto the eighth spot, they may find themselves facing the most probable seventh-seeded Phoenix Suns (43-31).

Nevertheless, in the event of a loss, they will need to defeat either the LA Lakers, Golden State Warriors (39-34), or Houston Rockets (38-35) in order to secure a spot in the postseason as the eighth seed.
