The Sacramento Kings are on the lookout for a new front office leader, after mutually parting ways with Monte McNair. Two names on the Kings radar are Scott Perry and Calvin Booth Perry has worked for several teams in various front office roles.

OKLAHOMA CITY - There's a stat sheet within Chet Holmgren's long reach. His Oklahoma City Thunder just beat the Chicago Bulls for the 62nd of their 68 regular-season wins. But he doesn't want to see the box score. He grabs it so he can crumple it up. It has nothing to do with the numbers on it. Holmgren is emphasizing a point. The rising young center with superstar aspirations spent his entire summer sharpening his skill set in belief he was ready for a third-season explosion.

After the Memphis loss, the Warriors control their own destiny again for a playoff spot. Win the final two (at Blazers, vs Clippers) and they’ll be at least the sixth seed. Could also climb above Clippers if they lose to Kings tomorrow (and Nuggets if they go 0-2).
Quinten Post and Gary Payton II are questionable for Warriors tomorrow night. Deni Avdija is doubtful for the Blazers. Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton are out. Warriors facing depleted Portland team.
