Teams Preview

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings are now at the bottom of the conference standings following their worst run in the 2025-26 season. The side lost seven games in a row and struggled offensively on the floor. With players like Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, and DeMar DeRozan on the roster, the team is expected to be a playoff contender, but injuries to key players have never allowed them a healthy squad in games. 

The team has an 108 offensive rating, which is 30th in the league and averages 109.8 points per game. Defensively, they are at the 28th position with a 119.9 defensive rating. Their effective scoring is lowest in the league, raising questions over their sync in games. 

Around the rim, the team has 40.5 rebounds per game and 4.5 blocks average. These numbers are well below the league mean. The absence of Domantas Sabonis impacted their gameplay in the paint region. The Kings, though, rank eighth with nine steals per game. With a 24.9 assist average and 14.3 turnovers per game, the Kings are struggling to put up high scores on the board. 

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers lost their momentum to get close to the top of the standings with a string of losses. Once at the second position in the West, they are currently fifth in the standings. LeBron James will be looking to help the side bounce back from the recent slump, but will be without Austin Reaves. Luka Doncic has been instrumental for the side at the offensive end of the floor.

JJ Reddick’s side ranks 11th in the offensive rating with a 116.1 rating and averages 115.9 points per game (18th in the league). With a strong forward line-up, the Lakers average 41.4 rebounds per game and four blocks per game.  Their shooting has been a major boost for the ide with side ranking second in the field goal percentages. They also average 8.3 steals per game, fueling their offence. The team has an average of 24.9 assists per game (24th in the league).
