The Sacramento Kings are 17-27 they won on Monday night so it’s one game in a row and their 2-8 in their last ten games. They are 1-2 on the current eight game road trip. This trip is the longest road trip of the season. The Kings are currently 11th in the Western Conference. They’re in a position where some would say just get ready for next year and chose a good player in the lottery.

When you look at that you would be wrong because even with that record and even being that far behind the conference leaders as of today the Kings are a game and half out of eight place which is the final qualifying spot for the playoffs. They’re only a game and half behind Denver who has a record of 18-25 in between them are Portland with a record of 19-27 and New Orleans with a record of 18-27. So if you notice all three teams right there have the same record in the loss column.
