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 -145 entering the 2024-25 season, giving them an implied probability of 59.18% to make the postseason.

Here is how their postseason odds compare to the Pacific Division:

The season has yet to begin, but the Kings hope to avoid the play-in tournament like most Western Conference teams.

Sacramento was the No. 3 seed two years ago.

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.
