Key Players

Golden State Warriors

Steph Curry

 Steph Curry is without a doubt the leader of this Warriors team. Curry is an incredible shooter and athlete, who can shoot on and off the ball. He creates plays when needed and is the definition of a leader. In three games against the Kings this season, Curry is averaging 35.7 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, and is shooting 51.5 percent from the three-point range, and 58.7 percent from the three.

Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson

With Andrew Wiggins out, I expect Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson to step up tonight. In Poole’s three games against Sacrament, he’s averaging only 14.7 points, 2.7 assists, on 43.8 percent field goal shooting, and 42.9 three-point shooting. Klay Thompson struggled from downtown in his three games against the Kings. Although he’s averaging 13.7 points, Klay is averaging only 33.3 percent from the three-point range, and 34.1 percent from the field. Klay Thompson is a pure shooter, expect him to step up.

Sacramento Kings Bench

 The Kings COULD be without their stars tonight, PF Domantas Sabonis (Questionable- ankle), SG Kevin Huerter (Questionable- ankle soreness), SF Keegan Murray (Questionable-foot soreness), and PG De'Aaron Fox (Questionable- ankle soreness). With two games to go in the regular Season, the Kings are locked in for the playoffs.  With Malik Monk out, the Kings will get to play their bench players. Forward Trey Lyles has only played 4.3 minutes against Golden State this season.

Small Forward Kessler Edwards has not played any minutes against the Warriors this season, along with Alex Len. Forward Harrison Barnes will get a shot to play the game of his life against his former team. Davion Mitchell averages 7 points per game against Golden State this season. His best game this season came against the Hornets. Mitchell added 23 points, 4 rebounds, and shot 83.3 percent from the three-point range. If Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox play tonight, look for them to keep up their stellar numbers against the Warriors.

LAST 10 GAMES + GAME PREDICTION

SPREAD: Golden State

-Golden State covered the spread in 4 of their last 10 games.

-Sacramento covered the spread in 5 of their last 10 games.

-Golden State has a 37-42-1 record ATS this season.

-Sacramento has a 45-34-1 record ATS this season.

If Sacramento has most of their starters out, I expect Golden State to cover here. However, if Sabonis and Fox suit up, I expect the Kings to cover.

MONEY LINE: Golden State ML

-Golden State won Money Line 6 out of their last 10 games

-Sacramento won Money Line 5 of their last 10 games.

 This is an important game for the Warriors. Their season is on the line, and they are fighting for the 5th or 6th seed in the Western Conference. If not, they may be placed in the play-in-tournament. If the Kings core players can suit up, I expect this to be a competitive game. Either way, I like the Warriors here.

OVER/UNDER: Over

-Golden State Avg +/- vs O/U Line: +2.46

-Sacramento Avg +/- vs O/U Line: +3.13

-Golden State Overall O/U Record: 43-34-3

-Sacramento O/U Record: 40-39-1

-Golden State hit the UNDER in 6 of their last 10 games.

-Sacramento is 5-5 for the Over/Under their last 10 games.

 Sacramento may be without their starting 5. If Sabonis, Fox, and Murray play, this will be a very competitive game. In that case, I would take over. Both teams struggle on the defensive end, and both are in the top 5 offensively.
