The Golden State Warriors look to get another win as the play-ins get ever closer. They host the Sacramento Kings who are reaching the end of their season with no hope of qualifying for postseason. Golden State have a 30-30 season record and that has them fourth in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. That's one place better than last year when they had a disastrous 15-50 record. All a bit of a disappointment after winning the division five years in a row and winning the NBA Finals three times in five years. Overall, the Warriors are tenth in the Western Conference, the final play-in position. They have won four more games than the New Orleans Pelicans. This season has seen improvement and 18 of their 28 home games have been won after just eight last season. They have won three of their last five matches, the other two lost by four and five point margins. Their most recent match saw them get a 21 point win over the Denver Nuggets. Four of their last five home games have ended in victory including a one-point win over Milwaukee Bucks who are third overall in the Eastern Conference.

Sacramento Kings are in the same division as the Warriors and in bottom place. They have a 24-35 season record, six behind their opponents, so they look like staying bottom of the Pacific Division. The Kings are 12th overall in the Western Conference, so it's a case of finishing off their games and hoping for better results next year. They have only won 11 of their 29 away matches this season. Their last match on the road saw them win at Dallas Mavericks but the previous four had all been lost. Current form has seen them win two of their last ten. There's been a bit of improvement in recent games but the Warriors can get the win over them here.
