After losing seven of their last eight games, the Sacramento Kings head into a must-win matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.

The Hornets have the third-worst record in the NBA at 19-57 and have lost six of their last seven games, but the Kings can not pencil in a win just yet. The Kings are coming off a loss to the Washington Wizards, who have the second-worst record in the league at 17-60, and can not afford to lose to another bottom-feeder.

With just six games left in the regular season, the Kings are in jeopardy of slipping out of the play-in tournament, leading the 11th-place Phoenix Suns by just one game. The Hornets, on the other hand, are simply fighting to stay in the bottom three for NBA draft lottery odds.
