This game randomly became pretty important. Not only from just beating the damn Lakers, but they're on a 4-game win streak and climbed back into the playoff picture. Only 3 games back of us and just a 1.5 game back of the 8 seed. Really need to take care of business vs these teams in our playoff orbit

Saw a rumor LeBron could ask to be traded tonight. If so, any coincidence that he chose the Kings game to make the announcement?

James is not eligible to be traded this season, per several news reports, due to the timing of his contract extension in 2022. He is expected to play tonight. I have voted for him multiple times for the All-Star team, along with Sabonis and Fox.

Hilarious. He's eligible to be traded on Feb. 18th, but the trade deadline is Feb. 9th.

Lakers are injured and on a back to back. No excuse to lose tonight.

Kings love feasting on crap** teams. still not sure where to place the Lakers. How’s that all star vote coming along? Non- kings fans seem to agree with kings fans on who should or should not be an all star. They do agree with Pacer fabs though. Indy is a bigger market than sac, right? Right!?!

LeBron is listed as Questionable for tonight's game:

https://clutchpoints.com/is-lebron-james-playing-vs-kings

Considering the Lakers played last night, I doubt LeBron plays tonight since he is recovering from an ankle injury.

LeBron played last night, feeling that was a more likely W against Atlanta and is content on resting LeBron against a superior Kings team tonight, conceding the likely L.

I normally don't care very much about any individual game, but now that we're in the playoff hunt, winning these games vs the 5 or 6 teams next to us in the standings really will matter at the end of the year. No AD, Lakers B-B. Can't drop this one

Right. Losses against good teams, especially when it's during a bad stretch of schedule, is understandable. This team isn't there yet. But losing to bad teams with no excuses can't happen.
