After missing last year’s playoffs, the Sacramento Kings plan to return to the 2025 NBA playoff picture.

Kings Playoff Chances

The Kingsโ€™ playoff odds are -185, giving them an implied probability of 64.91% to make the postseason.

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

  • Warriors: -900
  • Suns: -500
  • Lakers: -300
  • Kings: -185
  • Clippers: +225

Kings Playoff Seed

If the 2024-25 NBA regular season ended today, the Kings wouldn’t be in the playoffs. They trail the final play-in tournament spot via tiebreaker.

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 Sacramentoโ€™s first postseason appearance since 2006.

The Kings havenโ€™t won an NBA championship since moving to Sacramento from Kansas City in 1985-86.
