The Phoenix Suns (36-45) visit the Sacramento Kings (39-42) on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the Golden 1 Center.
This is the fourth time that the Suns and Kings will face each other this season. The Kings have won two of those three games by an average winning margin of 16 points. Their final matchup could be more of the same, given that the Suns have nothing else to play for.
It has been a horrendous season for the Suns, considering that expectations were high for them prior to the year. Now, they're eliminated from playoff contention and could be on the brink of breaking up their core in the offseason. It also doesn't help that they've only won one of their last nine games.
Meanwhile, the Kings must win this game to get homecourt advantage in their play-in matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Offense is still an advantage for this team. In the last five games, their offensive rating has jumped to 125.8, a nine-point increase from their season average of 116.7.
Two starters for the Suns are out, namely Kevin Durant and Nick Richards. For the Kings, scoring guard Malik Monk will sit out due to a calf injury.
