The Sacramento Kings have experienced a remarkable turnaround in their season, bouncing back from a series of setbacks that included the firing of head coach Mike Brown and trade rumors surrounding star guard De'Aaron Fox. After a dismal stretch, the Kings have now won six consecutive games, positioning themselves as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Their recent victory against the Boston Celtics demonstrates their newfound resilience and determination to succeed.

This resurgence is also significant for the Atlanta Hawks, who own the Kings' first-round pick if it falls outside the top 12. With the Hawks facing a lack of future first-round picks, this potential acquisition could play a crucial role in their rebuilding efforts, especially following their trade for Dejounte Murray in 2022 that required them to expend valuable draft resources.
