Just before tipoff here in Sacramento, where the Kings may clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2006, and my Apple Watch has already indicated that the decibel level around me is unhealthy. – 10:11 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Immanuel Quickley has a career-high 40 points on 13-for-17 shooting vs. Houston tonight. Quickley also had nine assists and just one turnover vs. Rockets. Gave the Knicks exactly what they needed on a game where they were without Jalen Brunson. NYK is up 25 with 2 min to play. – 9:53 PM

Nightly questionable decisions on their way for tonight’s Prize Picks partnership. Sabonis vs. Gobert is fun. Murray wants that record. Monk needs a bounceback game.

Kings head coach Mike Brown, when talking about the 16 season playoff drought on the verge of coming to an end, shares a story about what it means to Sacramento, and it involves one of the most indispensable people in the organization, Miguel Lopez. pic.twitter.com/M3Yf6zfheP – 8:42 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Kings coach Mike Brown just told a touching story about longtime team equipment manager Miguel Lopez. Mike was in his office after Saturday’s game when Wes Wilcox walked in to say he saw Miguel crying in the tunnel. Mike feared something was wrong, but they were tears of joy. – 8:34 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Mike Brown told the story pregame of Kings equipment manager Miguel Lopez crying in the tunnel after the Utah win.
Miguel has been in Sacramento since the 2013-2014 season. He’s known nothing but losing like the fans. This season means so much to so many people. – 8:30 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Kings coach Mike Brown on the possibility of clinching a playoff spot at home: “Obviously it’s a big deal. It’s a big deal around here and the fans have been phenomenal, and so to try to do something in front of your home fans is always the best case if it can happen that way.” – 8:23 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I think Kyle Anderson on the screening big is the ideal spot to position him on D.
From there he can kinda roam/lean into mid-floor passing lanes with his long arms. And then up in coverage, like this play, as slow as he is, he can play up there because he has such great hands. pic.twitter.com/CGTXf7PQve – 6:51 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Taurean Prince was just added to the Wolves injury report with an illness. He’s listed as questionable.
Not a good sign for his availability tonight.
Illness has been goin around — McLaughlin missed the game Wednesday, Edwards missed practice Fridy, Ryan is also ill. – 6:44 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA

UPDATED Minnesota @Timberwolves Status Report in advance of tonight’s game at Sacramento:

For all Kings fans going to the game tonight, if (when) the Kings clinch, after the game, I might need you for the intro to tonight’s Locked On Kings Podcast.
Be ready. – 6:16 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Just verified with the NBA office and Elias Sports: If the Sacramento Kings win tonight, they will clinch a playoff berth AND homecourt advantage in the first round. – 6:00 PM

I’m getting emotional THINKING about the possibility of the Kings clinching tonight.
How’s everyone else doin? – 5:50 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
It’s just one ticket, which I know is kinda weird.
Whoever this fan is that we choose, I’d hope the people around them would celebrate with them as Kings family.
Again, this is not my doing. This is a fan that could easily sell this ticket that has donated. – 5:44 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
An amazing Sacramento Kings fan reached out to me & donated an extra ticket to tonight’s game. He would like it to go to someone who hasn’t been to a game/can’t afford to go.
Kings fans, I know you know somebody like this who needs to be in the building tonight. Help me out. – 5:39 PM

Wow… Naz Reid was a finalist for Western Conference player of the week.
Brandon Ingram won the award, but the other official nominees were SGA, JJJ, Jokic and Naz.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have ruled Karl-Anthony Towns out for tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings due to right calf strain injury management. Anthony Edwards is questionable due to a right ankle sprain. – 4:16 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Karl-Anthony Towns is out tonight against Sacramento to manage his calf injury, the team says. It’s a back-to-back for the Wolves, so presumably just normal precautions after a long absence. – 4:15 PM
