The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to get among the teams that will go directly to the postseason in 2022, and in order to achieve this they must continue to add victories to improve their statistics. Thanks to the two victories in its last two games against the Portland Trail Blazers (139-106) and Minnesota Timberwolves (108-103), the Los Angeles franchise has improved its record which is now 19-19, same number of victories than the Clippers (the last to go straight to the playoffs) but with one more loss.
In the case of the Sacramento Kings, their narrow victory over the Miami Heat (115-113) has allowed them to retain the precious 10th place in the Western Conference, the last one that grants a ticket to the Play-in, and to equal the Timberwolves in victories (although with two more defeats: 22 versus 20 for the Wolves). With just two wins more than Spurs, their immediate pursuers, it is absolutely necessary for the Kings to win.
