This is it for the Sacramento Kings. If they want to keep their fading playoff hopes alive, the Kings absolutely need to beat the Dallas Mavericks.
Sacramento has struggled in the bubble, dropping their first two games in Orlando, Florida, but their is a silver-lining. If the Kings can get hot over their final six contests, they could very much be in the playoff picture.
The eighth seeded Memphis Grizzlies are still only 3.5 games up on Sacramento, while the team in the No. 9 spot —the San Antonio Spurs— are only one game up on the Kings.
