The Golden State Warriors Team Preview!
The Golden State Warriors took down the Rockets but fell to the Mavs. Up next, they're facing the Mavs again, along with the Hornets and Magic. They're putting up an average of 112.1 points with 44.5% shooting, while letting in 111.9 points on 46.3% shooting. Stephen Curry is dropping 23.4 points and dishing out 6.1 assists, and Jimmy Butler is adding 21.3 points and 5.3 assists. Jonathan Kuminga is also scoring in double digits, and Buddy Hield is snagging 3.3 rebounds. They're hitting 36% of their shots from three-point land and 72.8% from the free-throw line. On defense, they're allowing 35.9% shooting from deep and pulling down 46.1 rebounds per game. It looks like the Warriors won’t have Jonathan Kuminga for this game and thats a big hit to this team right now. Can they muscle up and pull this off?
The Sacramento Kings Team Preview!
The Sacramento Kings took down the Mavs, had a split series with the Pelicans, and are set to face off against the Hornets, Jazz, and Rockets next. They're putting up an average of 116.5 points with a 47.5% shooting rate and letting opponents score 115.6 points on 46.8% shooting.

Game Prediction!
The Pick: Golden State Warriors ML
The Sacramento Kings are feeling good and ready to go, especially when they face the Warriors. Since it's a local rivalry and the Warriors often see the Kings as the little brother, their recent games have been pretty intense, with Sacramento taking the last five. However, the Kings have had a hard time keeping their momentum, and playing at home hasn't been a huge advantage, where they're 14-13 straight up. On the flip side, the Warriors have won three out of their last four games, and with Jimmy Butler joining the team, there's a fresh vibe. Draymond is even saying they're going to win the NBA title. The Warriors have a new spring in their step that wasn't there a few weeks ago. I'm betting on the Warriors to win on the road.
Why the Golden State Warriors will win
The Kings have lost four of their last five games against Pacific Division opponents that held a winning record.
The Warriors have won three of their last four games.
The Kings have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five night games at Golden 1 Center following an overtime loss.
The Warriors have covered the spread in five of their last six games at Golden 1 Center.
