They play the Lakers twice in that span. Lose both of those and you have lost the tiebreaker also. With both and then you have a shot at the tiebreaker. They could well be battling the Lakers for the 6th spot or 8th spot.
They play the Jazz which has to be a win. That means splitting New Orleans and Denver. New Orleans is injured and at the bottom of the standing.
You want to be top 6 you need to win 4 out of the next 5.

The part that bothers me, is that the best fit starting lineup still includes Keon. They panicked and jumped to the conclusion somehow, that part of the issue was Keon starting and Monk as the 6th man. No, the problem was and still is, not shooting well enough and defending the 3 pt line.
They definitely needed to make a change, but it should have been a change to their defensive scheme and not sagging and helping off 3 pt shooters. Should have happened many games ago

Yes, Keon would have given the Kings the most balanced starting unit, but I think Brown never fully trusted his offense for some reason.
But at this point of the season, the Kings best chance to make a deep run for the playoffs may be to go full blown offensive juggernaut team. Try to recapture some of that offensive magic from the 22-23 season. The Kings are just not good enough defensively (with or without starting Keon) to make a serious deep run in the playoffs, trying to reinvigorate the offense may be their best chance.

I like Keon as much as the next guy but he’s not the key to this team. The team knocking down 3’s is the key…..even if they are not doing a good job in games defensively in guarding the 3, when they shoot like they did last night from 3, they will win most as its most likely around a 140 point night
Seems like every single game Sabonis comes out of it cut, scrapped, bleeding, bruised, or worse. Tough as nails, rarely misses any games during long season due to injury. But why does not wear some protection, any protection, don't understand. Could wear protective sleaves and t-shirt to keep from receiving nicks and cuts arms and upper body. Does he even have protective mouth guard Kayte wondered as Sabonis getting knocked in head last night commenting might need a helmet!
As long as they balance the moments they sub one in for the other, I’m fine with it. Some games will call for different things but i just hope Coach Brown doesn’t worry as much about set rotations and adjusts based on what’s actually happening in game.
Monk being in that starting lineup is quite nice IMO, because he gets Sabonis going early, reminding him that we need him to look for his shot as well.
