Way Too Early Predictions of Who Returns for Kings A prediction of who will return for the Sacramento Kings next year following a disappointing season.

Who do you think will be back next year for the Kings?

Kings Have Historic Performance in Win Over Bulls The Sacramento Kings had their best win in months, taking down the Chicago Bulls in impressive and historic fashion.

33 Assists and 3 Turnovers sounds like a perfect game to me! A ton of great takeaways from tonight's win over the Bulls.

And I know the number four is floating around out there, but everywhere I check says three, and I checked multiple spots lol

Kings tonight in the 126-110 win over the Bulls:
33 Assists | 3 Turnovers

They are just the 5th team in NBA history to have at least 33 assists with three or fewer turnovers, and the first since BOS on 3/11/24

Three Decisions That Will Define the Kings' Offseason The Sacramento Kings have no shortage of decisions for this offseason, but these three stand out as major choices for Scott Perry and the front office.

What do you think are the biggest decisions for the Kings this offseason?

I keep thinking back on it and I’m so confused, like I don’t know what I was thinking.

You are correct, my sincere apologies

I was mistaken, and got it mixed up, my sincere apologies

You are correct, my sincere apologies

You are correct, my sincere apologies

I truly don't even know how I got it so mixed up. Sorry y'all

Completely mixed this up and had it backwards. My apologies everyone.

Why the NBA's Biggest Surprise Is a Huge Win for the Kings The Sacramento Kings are getting some unexpected help heading into the offseason.

In case anyone forgot, the Kings have the Hornets 2nd Round pick this year.

And Charlotte has won 6 straight and 16 of their last 19...

Kings' Fall to Suns, But Rookies Showing This Season Isn't Lost The Sacramento Kings fell to the Phoenix Suns 112-103, but rookie Maxime Raynaud had another standout game.

I left tonight's Kings-Suns game feeling pretty good. Another strong game from Raynaud and Clifford his thing.

19 games left

Nique Clifford Set For Another Star Matchup vs. Suns Sacramento Kings rookie Nique Clifford will get another chance against one of the NBA's best tonight against the Phoenix Suns

Clifford gets another top matchup tonight as the Kings host the Suns.

Three Things to Watch For As Kings Visit Lakers The Sacramento Kings, who have won two of their last three games, visit the Los Angeles Lakers.

What are you watching for in today's Kings-Lakers matchup?

I've got Nique's defense at the top of the lsit
www.si.com/nba/kings/on...

Over the last 11 games, Nique Clifford is averaging 2.1 steals per game.

For reference, Tyrese Maxey is leading the league with 2.1 steals per contest on the season.

Kings Rookie's Great Shooting Splits Point to Star-Level Scoring Upside Sacramento Kings rookie Maxime Raynaud has had an impressive season, and has the numbers to back it up.

I truly don't think Raynaud is getting enough credit for what he's doing in his rookie year:

"he has a great 55.2% field goal percentage. According to Basketball Reference, that's the 14th-best FG% in the entire NBA of all qualified players."

Oh man I’m cooked this year! Been focusing on writing more than stats so we’ll see how this goes!

Kings 'Magic Number' for Locking Up #1 Draft Lottery Spot An early look at what the Sacramento Kings will have to do over the final stretch of the season to lock up the top draft lottery position.

The Magic Number is BACK!

But this time, it's for the worst record in the league...

(As a reminder, the magic number is the combo of Kings Losses + Opp Wins)

3 Takeaways as Kings Finally Snap Losing Streak with Win Over Grizzlies The Sacramento Kings took down the Memphis Grizzlies as they finally snapped their losing streak.

Thank goodness, because I couldn't do another postgame article on the losing streak.

Sad But Simple Kings-Spurs Stat Shows New Low for Sacramento The Sacramento Kings face the San Antonio Spurs in a game that brings up some old feelings.

Tonight's game just hits a little different with the losing streak.

The Kings and Spurs both have the same # of 'Beam Team' players on the court tonight...

Why Hunter’s Injury Stings the Kings More Than Others The Sacramento Kings can't catch a break with injuries once again, but the latest De'Andre Hunter news hits different for the rebuilding Kings.

The Hunter news just hits a little different than Sabonis and LaVine

Something tells me it’s not a coincidence the Magic are making all of these WIDE open threes…

Thanks! It’s been tough this season for sure! And he looks great tonight!

I wrote today on some lineups that I think will be fun or at least worth watching, since at least some of these combos can be together next year?

But even then it was challenging coming up with just three…

3 Lineups to Watch in the Kings' Final 26 Games The Sacramento Kings may be in last place, but here are three lineups to keep an eye on for the final stretch of the season.

Read more on the five lineups that I'll be keeping an eye on in my latest writing below!
www.si.com/nba/kings/on...

The trio of Keegan Murray, Nique Clifford, and Maxime Raynaud have played just 77 minutes together this season. That number should be at least 600 by the end of the year

At this point, they have a -14.00 Net Rtg together, so let's check in at the end of the year on how they look

Breaking Down the Good and the Bad of Devin Carter’s Return to Kings' Rotation Devin Carter is back in the rotation in Sacramento, but what has he shown for the Kings over the last seven games?

Devin Carter has played 160 minutes in the last 7 games, giving us arguably the most consistent sample size of his career.

Carter in the Restricted Area? Great
Carter from 3-pt range? Not so great...

I can’t wait to watch the games from tonight! It’s wild the NBA didn’t take notice last year and add it to the all star game this year
