Right now, the Kings are in 9th and on a pace for 90.7 points. Anyone ahead of them is in, so that's the current pace to beat.

Logically that makes sense but I believe if the Kings stay their pace they will miss the play offs. They are under achieving right now and are known to pick it up at the end so their current pace is meaningless.
If we say 96 is the pace even if Kings blow past that it makes sense that another team would fall off below that rate.
