The Warriors are finally back on track, winning their last five games after embarking on a rare three-game skid. This is not something that many are used to seeing as the Warriors lost just nine games in the entire 2015-16 season. However, three of the last four Golden State victories have been by more than 25 points. Golden State owns the best scoring offense in the NBA along with the top-ranked field goal percentage. The Warriors are also third across the league in three-point field goal proficiency. As for the Kings, they are certainly thinking lottery pick at this point as well after shipping off their fabled commodity DaMarcus Cousins to New Orleans at the All-Star Break. The Kings have lost their last three contests.

Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors Prediction
From the metrics alone the Warriors should blow the doors of the Kings. However, the number asked could by hyper-inflated by virtue of this and many other reasons. First, Golden State is back in excellent form and with that comes a premium. When a team of Golden State’s caliber plays a team like Sacramento who have long since given up on their campaign, the question here is not whether the Warriors will win but by how much? Nevertheless the lumber here is a lot to ask as Golden State could get out to a 30-point lead and call off the dogs to keep their starters fresh for the playoffs. In doing so, Sacramento can easily foster a backdoor cover and a price of this nature sets up takers for such an event. When you factor in this contest is at the Oracle Arena (where the Warriors are notorious for home court advantage), the gouging should be expected to be that much steeper. Take the points.
Free Pick:
Take Sacramento +18 (-115)
