Kyle Anderson ignited a 12-0 finish with a pair of hoops, including a 3-pointer, and Jonas Valanciunas converted a three-point play to give Memphis the lead for good with 1:23 remaining as the Grizzlies formally eliminated the visiting Sacramento Kings from playoff contention with a 116-110 victory on Thursday night.

DB: 30 points 6 rebBC: 12 points 5 rebDillon Brooks scored a team-high 30 points, the seventh 30-point game of his career, and Valanciunas recorded a double-double with 24 points and a game-high 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies , who assured that their position in the NBA play-in tournament -- either eighth or ninth -- will be determined in the season finale Sunday at Golden State.

Neither team led by more than eight points and the Grizzlies retained a 91-86 advantage after Brandon Clarke's dunk with 10:46 to play. Sacramento retained a 110-104 advantage after Buddy Hield's jumper with 3:08 remaining, but the Kings -- playing without De'Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III and Harrison Barnes -- never scored again.

Anderson finished with 14 points and a game-high nine assists for Memphis, while Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant chipped in with 12 points apiece.
