NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from Sacramento Kings vs Boston Celtics

#2 The Sacramento Kings' playoff odds are shrinking

The Kings had a chance to make the playoffs

The Kings started the season fairly well. Then, they got caught up in the competitive Western Conference. The Kings are 9th in the Western Conference with a record of 33-34. A record of 33-34 is decent, but not enough to make the playoffs.

The Kings are one game away from having an even 34-34 record, but they are on a two-game losing streak.

They lost to the Celtics in this game and failed to overcome the Wizards on Monday. The Kings are 3-7 in their last 10 games. They have also dropped 13 of their last 17 road games.Their recent losses hurt their playoff chances.

The Los Angeles Clippers are currently the eighth seed of the West. They have a record of 39-30. Their win percentage 56.5 percent in comparison to the Kings' 49.3 percent. The Clippers have a solid lead over the Kings as the season winds down.

With 15 games left in their season, the Kings' playoff chances are starting to disappear.
