SACRAMENTO, Calif. — De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points and the Sacramento Kings assured themselves of at least one more home game by beating the Portland Trail Blazers 121-82 in the regular season finale. Sacramento will head into the play-in tournament as either the eighth or ninth seed and will either host Golden State in the ninth versus 10th-place game if the Lakers beat New Orleans in a game that hadn't yet finished or visit Phoenix in the seventh versus eighth-place game if Los Angeles loses. Dalano Banton led Portland with 17 points before getting ejected for a flagrant foul in the fourth quarter. Banton set a record for futility by missing all 15 of his attempts from 3-point range.
