The Kings will be facing off against another sneakily good team from the Eastern Conference in the Knicks. They haven't quite reached the same level of success as Sacramento, but they've been playing pretty good basketball as of late. At the very least, this game will be an entertaining one for fans to watch.

If you had told Kings fans before the start of the season that this team would be the third seed in the West halfway through the year, you'd be laughed out of the building. There were some promising signs from the team towards the end of the 2021-22 season, yes. However, no one could've predicted such a massive leap from the team.

The Kings are now poised to make it back to the playoffs for the first time in 17 seasons. They will break the old playoff drought that has haunted them for so long. For the first time in a long while, there's hope in Sacramento.
