Kings to host Mavericks in 2025 NBA play-in matchup after win vs. Suns in finale originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Kings will have at least one more home game this season.
By beating the Phoenix Suns 109-88 in the season finale on Sunday, Sacramento secured the No. 9 seed and home-court advantage in their 2025 Western Conference play-in game against the No. 10-seeded Dallas Mavericks.
The Kings and Mavericks are slated to play Wednesday night at Golden 1 Center, with the winner advancing to take on the loser of Tuesday’s game between the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds.
Star center Domantas Sabonis finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while backup big Jonas Valančiūnas scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench.
If the Kings win both play-in games this week, they would face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
Sacramento won all three regular-season matchups against Dallas, with the last game coming on March 3.
Both teams will enter the play-in game with sub-.500 records, as the Kings finished the regular season at 40-42 and the Mavericks concluded a disappointing 39-43 campaign with a blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Kings and Mavericks have endured a lot of turmoil this season, but both have a chance to extend their campaigns this week.
