Fair to say the latest 5 game losing streak has close to sank most reasonable chances for playoff fun this year barring like a 9-game winning streak or better.

Effective tanking probably means going something like 4-16 or 3-17 or so and hope several of the teams below them go close to .500. Head-to-heads against Wizards and OKC are extra.
At best (worst) it could mean mathematically landing around 5 or 6 off the bottom in league standing. 5 statistically would be the goal.
Of course who knows what will actually shake out - my guess is 7 or 8. But If the Kings can get to 5, wunderbar.
