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 teams’ regular-season finale on Sunday.

Sacramento will head into the NBA play-in tournament on Tuesday night, hosting the Golden State Warriors in the ninth- versus 10th-place game in the Western Conference. It will be a rematch of last year’s first-round series that the Kings lost in seven games.
