As we head into the last full month of the 2018-19 Sacramento Kings season, here’s a few bold predictions that will inevitably be proven wrong in six weeks. Enjoy!

Jokes aside, there’s plenty to be excited about as the Sacramento Kings reach the homestretch of their season. There’s the incredible play of Buddy Hield of a nightly basis, Harry Giles becoming what we all expected him to be and most importantly, a playoff race.

Sure it’s been a demoralizing stretch of games over the last two weeks for the Sacramento Kings, but with 19 games left as of this writing, playoffs are certainly not out of the question. And even if they were, there’s something to be said about watching this team come together and mesh before our eyes — even without Marvin Bagley III who’s out due to a knee injury.

Still, what fun is the NBA without a few bold predictions and things to root for that you know in your heart may not come true, but you feel like they have a chance anyway (insert: JimCarrey.gif). So, without rambling any more, let’s hop into some bold (and one not so bold) predictions.
