Let\u2019s take a look at the state of the Pacific Division as we head into what should be an interesting year for the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief preview for each team in the Pacific Division:<\/p>\n<p>2025-26 NBA Pacific Division Preview<\/p>\n<p>1. Golden State Warriors<br \/>2024-25 record: 48-34, third in the Pacific Division<br \/>Head coach: Steve Kerr, 12th season with the Warriors (567-308 record)<\/p>\n<p>Coming and going: The no-cost addition of Al Horford is a godsend for the Warriors, who in recent years have been forced to send Draymond Green to battle out of position as a 5 with the likes of Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis, Rudy Gobert and Alperen Sengun. In other news, Jonathan Kuminga is back \u2026 but for how long?<\/p>\n<p>Numbers to crunch: The Warriors were 25-26 on the day they acquired Jimmy Butler III last February. They went 23-8 the rest of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Season snapshot: With Horford, Green and Butler, the Warriors have their best defensive frontcourt in ages. And with Stephen Curry still filling up 3-pointers at about a 40-percent clip, they figure to have the requisite firepower as well.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: How hard does Steve Kerr push his veterans to keep pace with the younger legs of the Thunder and Rockets in the West? Throw in the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks, and even winning 50 games might not get you home-court in the Western Conference playoffs. The Warriors\u2019 final standing in the West could come down to their standing in the \u201crest\u201d rankings.<\/p>\n<p>2. Los Angeles Lakers<br \/>2024-25 record: 50-32, tied for first in the Pacific Division<br \/>Head coach: JJ Redick, second season with the Lakers (50-32 record)<\/p>\n<p>Read more below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/59409\/2025-26-nba-preview-pacific-division-kings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2025-26 NBA Preview: Pacific Division capsules<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When is the next Sacramento Kings game?<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento will tip off the 2025-26 regular season on Wednesday night when they face Devin Booker and the Suns in Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to catch all of the Kings vs. Suns action right here on Sactown Sports 1140 AM, with pregame coverage beginning at 2:00 PM PT on\u00a0The Drive Guys\u00a0before a 7:00 pm PT tip-off from downtown Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming Sacramento Kings schedule for the 2025-26 season<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, October 22nd\u00a0\u2013 @ Phoenix Suns \u2013 7 PM PT (Season Opener)<br \/>\nFriday, October 24th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Utah Jazz \u2013 7 PM PT<br \/>\nSunday, October 26th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Los Angeles Lakers \u2013 6 PM PT<br \/>\nTuesday, October 28th\u00a0\u2013 @ Oklahoma City Thunder \u2013 5 PM PT<br \/>\nWednesday, October 29th\u00a0\u2013 @ Chicago Bulls \u2013 5 PM PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thank you for reading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SactownSports.com<\/a>.
