De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis lead the Sacramento Kings against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
Heading into Sunday the Sacramento Kings (44-33) have slipped all the way down to ninth in the Western Conference standings. For the majority of the season Sacramento was in the top six of the standings, but if the season ended today it would have to win two win-or-go-home games just to earn the final playoff seed. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis will have all the pressure on them today against the Brooklyn Nets (31-47) and to close the season over the final five games. Brooklyn has already been eliminated from the playoffs, but the team has won back-to-back games and gets to play spoiler down the stretch.
