While some expected the Sacramento Kings to make the playoffs in what was supposed to be a turnaround season, the odds of them being stiffed out of the postseason are exceptionally high.
Through the first 20 games of the season, the Kings have gone (7-13) with an estimated full season record of (32-49). With three overtime defeats and five losses by 10 points or fewer, the Kings are evermore searching for their identity a quarter of the way through the season.
Despite the under .500 start, Rudy Gay has been able to average 18.4 points while shooting 46 percent from the field in what is a showcase year since his player option is coming up at the end of the season.
