After missing last year’s playoffs, the Sacramento Kings plan to return to the 2025 NBA playoff picture.
Kings Playoff Chances
The Kings’ playoff odds are -210, giving them an implied probability of 67.74% to make the postseason.
Here is how their postseason odds compare to the Pacific Division:
- Suns: -750
- Warriors: -550
- Kings: -210
- Lakers: -190
- Clippers: +250
Kings Playoff Seed
If the 2024-25 NBA regular season ended today, the Kings would be the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. That would put them at the bottom of the play-in tournament, needing two road wins to notch a playoff berth.
Sacramento was the No. 3 seed two years ago.
Last Time the Kings Made the Playoffs
The Kings made the playoffs in 2023, but they lost to the Golden State Warriors in seven games in the opening round.
It marked Sacramento’s first postseason appearance since 2006.
The Kings haven’t won an NBA championship since moving to Sacramento from Kansas City in 1985-86.
