Thus, it's win or go home for the Heat, Bulls, Mavericks and Kings tonight. The winner of Heat-Bulls will play the Hawks, who lost to the Magic in last night's Play-In game, for the No. 8 seed in the East. The winner of Mavericks-Kings will head to Memphis to play the Grizzlies, who lost to the Warriors last night, for the No. 8 seed in the West.

After losing at home to the Kyrie Irving-less, 10th-place Dallas Mavericks 120-106, the Sacramento Kings' 2024-25 campaign ended Wednesday. And even though this season is over, it somehow feels like we're at the beginning of what could be a long, painful stretch for Kings fans.
