The NBA schedule will reportedly proceed as is for final eight games

The Kings will continue to play out their remaining schedule starting with the Pelicans, per Yahoo.

The Sacramento Kings are headed to Disney World for a chance to qualify for the NBA playoffs, and now we know which teams they will be playing to complete the regular season.

Per a report from Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports, each team’s schedule will consist of the next eight games they were originally slated to play. The games that involve teams who will not be in Orlando will be skipped over for the next available matchup.

That means that Sacramento will restart its season against the New Orleans Pelicans, the team it was set to play on the night the NBA shutdown back in March. New Orleans is one of six teams that will be challenging for the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds in the Western Conference, so this game will hold massive playoff implications.

Here is how the rest of the Kings’ regular-season schedule looks:

Sacramento was 3-8 against these seven teams during the regular season. It goes without saying that the Kings will have to do better to remain in the playoff hunt. Nothing short of 5-3 would be acceptable, and even that may be cutting it close considering all of the other teams in the hunt.

There are still issues to resolve regarding the schedule because not every team’s next eight games line up neatly. For example, the Lakers would be slated to play the Kings in their eighth game, but that would require an additional game for Sacramento. This is the best guess we have so far of what the schedule will look like, but as with all NBA news since the shutdown, it is subject to change.

In any case the Kings will get a fair opportunity to compete for a playoff spot, which wasn’t a guarantee just a few months ago. We’ll have to wait and see what they do with it.
