After going on a 7-1 stretch, the Sacramento Kings have fallen on hard times, losing seven consecutive games. The team has been thoroughly outplayed during its downward slide, losing by an average of 10.4 points.
The Kings are 12-18 through 30 games, and the pressure could be mounting on head coach Luke Walton. The second-year bench boss is tied with Detroit Pistons’ head coach Dwane Casey as the favorite to be the next NBA head coach to be fired, per Sportsbook.AG.

Walton is in the second season of a four-year contract he signed with Sacramento during the 2019 offseason.
