You can't simply look at records to determine future wins. March is by far the easiest part of the King's schedule. They should win at a higher percentage. Just like games are filled with runs by both teams, the season is often the same. Back in the 98/99 season, the Kings finished the season by winning 10 of their last 12 games to make it into the playoffs as the 8th seed. No one could have predicted that happening.
The difference is the Kings do not control their own destiny, regardless.
Jazz: 13 of their next 16 are against teams below .500. If you’re hoping to catch them, good luck.
Clips: 13 games left. 8 at home and 8 against teams below .500. Plus the tiebreaker
Spurs: 14 games left: 7 with team below .500 and 8 games at home.
Kings: 16’games left and 8 games with teams below .500.
Couple that with their conference W-L record against the Western Conference teams above .500
Too me, if the Kings drop both on the upcoming B2B Celts, Sixers, their done.
They still have to play the Jazz in Utah, Blazers in Portland. Spurs in San Antonio and Home and Away Houston.
