The Sydney Kings are the first side to be mathematically assured to take part in the Hungry Jack's NBL Finals Series this season

The Sydney Kings are the first side to be mathematically assured to take part in the Hungry Jack's NBL Finals Series this season, following the results of Round 15 so far.

Sydney currently sits top of the NBL23 standings with 17 wins for the season so far. Following their victory over local rivals Illawarra, the Kings are on a run of six straight wins.

Although the Kings are assured of playing finals basketball this season, the new Play In format means they’re not yet certainty to reach the semi-finals.

The sides who finish in the top two at the end of the regular season will immediately earn a place in the final four Play-Offs, while teams three through six will fight it out for the two remaining places in the Play In Tournament.

The Kings have five games remaining in the NBL23 regular season. They play the JackJumpers, Phoenix and 36ers once each while taking on the Wildcats twice in the run-in.
