What happened: The Sacramento Kings remain the final NBA club seeking an initial victory in the 2026-27 regular season. Sacramento moved to 0-6 following a 136-105 road loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 31.

Why it matters: The Sacramento Kings opened the 2026-27 campaign under muted projections and now sit alone at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. An early six-game deficit creates immediate urgency to establish rotational stability and prevent further separation in the conference race.

What to watch: Sacramento begins a road test at Dallas seeking to reverse its momentum.
