After a disappointing start to the 2024-25 NBA regular season that resulted in coach Mike Brown getting fired, it’d make sense for the 15-19 Sacramento Kings to take offers on the Western Conference squad’s most talented players, with 2023 All-NBA guard De’Aaron Fox being atop that list.
Fox has been solid for the Kings this year, with 26.8 points per game and 3.4 win shares across 34 games, building on a 503-game career where he’s racked up 33.0 win shares and a player efficiency rating of 18.8, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
Still, with Sacramento currently locked into the 10th seed in the West, some 4.5 games behind the sixth seeded Los Angeles Clippers, it might be time for Kings GM Monte McNair to make a move, which is why BetCalifornia.com broke down some hypothetical odds on which NBA team will land Fox next.
As we monitor movement across the California sports betting landscape, stick around for more developments on the Sacramento Kings as well.
Team | Odds | Percentage Chance |

San Antonio Spurs | +1200 | 7.7% |

Sports betting is not yet legal in California, but our site is monitoring what happens in Sacramento and will let you know when sportsbooks like DraftKings California and BetMGM become available.
Right now, we have the upstart Houston Rockets (+1000) as our top team to land Fox next, with the 22-11 team that’s locked into the third seed in the Western Conference league table landing ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs, who are co-listed at +1200 apiece.
Throw in a pair of Eastern Conference longshots in the Miami Heat (+1750) and Orlando Magic (+3000) and you have the full scope of NBA teams that we see being in on Fox’s backcourt services ahead of the NBA’s Feb. 6 trade deadline.
For now, Fox and his teammates in Sacramento will try their best to build off the Kings’ pair of wins over the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 3 and Jan. 1, with the franchise looking to make a postseason run for the second time in the last three years after missing out in 2024, despite a strong 46-36 record at year’s end.
