Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Friday action in the NBA concludes with one of the marquee matchups of the night as the Sacramento Kings host the Golden State Warriors. It’s a rematch of last season’s first-round playoff matchup with the 0-1 Warriors looking for their first win of the season against the 1-0 Kings. Sacramento got off to a fast start in the 2023/24 campaign with a 130-114 away win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. A second straight win would mean defeating the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year in a back-and-forth seven game series. The Kings were one of the surprise teams last season as they racked up 48 wins to secure the third seed in the West. It was their best finish since 2005 and snapped a run of 16 consecutive years without a playoff appearance. They’ll now look to build on that excellent year as they push for another top-five position in the crowded West.
The Warriors did not experience the kind of start they would have wanted as they fell 108-104 at home to the Suns. Things won’t get any easier for them here as they head to the Golden 1 Center to take on a ticked-off Kings team. One of the stories of the Warriors’ season last year was the almost unbelievable difference in their home vs away performances. They finished as one of the league’s best home teams but struggled immensely to produce on the road. In fact, only the 22-60 Rockets and Spurs and the 17-65 Pistons had worse away records than the Dubs in 2022/23. We’ll now get our first chance of the season to see if that raincloud will once again be hanging over the Warriors’ heads when they play outside of the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
With Draymond Green still missing the King's Sabonis should have a big night. The Warriors backcourt will also struggle to contain Fox's incredible speed. If we assume home court advantage to be worth roughly three points on the spread, then this line is saying that the Warriors are -0.5 point favorites on a neutral court. We’re not sure that is actually the case as the Sacramento team could be the more talented of the two. Back the hosts to get a bit of revenge for their playoff exit last season. Our Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors prediction is for the Kings to win and cover the -2.5 spread.
