De’Aaron Fox and the Kings’ pace are a tough draw on a B2B, especially after an intense game like last night vs. Lakers. No Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Michael Porter Jr. Denver didn’t play well, but that’s about it. Flush this one and move on. Good to see Julian Strawther back. – 12:23 AM

I get the sense that the Kings are kind of in a “just get to the playoffs” mode. They believe the experience from last year’s playoff series will really make a difference then.

I disagree slightly with Monte here. Yes the Kings have more wins than losses, including good wins over teams like OKC, the T-Wolves, and the Nuggets, but there have been more “bad losses” than “good wins” in my opinion.
