Coaches often look at point differential to help measure the strength of teams.

Buoyed by blowouts of Chicago and Houston during the past week, the Kings lead the league in point differential while outscoring their opposition by an average of 10.8 points per game.

Minnesota (9.6), the Los Angeles Lakers (9.3), the surprising Detroit Pistons (9.2) and the San Antonio Spurs (8.3) round out the top five in point differential.
