When: 12:00 PM / 3:00 PM ET
Watch: NBCSCA / League Pass
I mentioned this on the latest episode of The Kings Herald Show, but the data keeps getting worse and thus, worth repeating: the 2025-26 Sacramento Kings current hold a .261 winning percentage – the worst of any season since Vivek Ranadive bought the team, and the 2nd worst since the franchise moved to Sacramento. The only Sacramento-era Kings squad that won at a lower rate were the 2008-09, Reggie Theus / Kenny Natt led dumpster fire.
Of course, the season isn’t over. These Kings will likely pick up more wins as the season winds down and the schedule gets easier, but it’s still a pretty embarrassing fact made considerably worse due to the age and cost of the roster. This is an expensive veteran squad. They shouldn’t be this bad, but the tank thanks them.
At 32-11, the Pistons hold the best record in the Eastern Conference, so I’m expect the winning percentage to look even worse in a few hours.
Unrelated but sort of related: here’s some highlights from Kingston Flemings 42-point night against Texas Tech to remind you why continuing to lose is what’s best for the organization right now.
Prediction: Kings 119, Pistons 104.
