As the season comes to a close, the Sacramento Kings’ playoff hopes have begun to grow a bit dimmer each night. The San Antonio Spurs currently boast a three game lead for possession of the 8th seed, and with only 18 games remaining, each night is near make or break for Sacramento’s postseason wishes. Unfortunately, Wednesday evening won’t provide much relief, as the Spurs face the 22-43 Atlanta Hawks, while the Kings must take on the much tougher Boston Celtics at home.
Tonight’s match-up does represent a rare scheduling advantage for the Kings.
