The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 28-27 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West, but that record also has them in the last spot for the play-in tournament. They haven't been a great road team though with their 13-14 road record. Meanwhile, the Kings haven't looked great in their games this season with their 28-27 record overall which also has them in the bottom half of the West and 1 spot above the Warriors, still in the play-in tournament. They have looked better on their home court this year with their 14-13 home record, but they still haven't been a great home team. Neither of these teams is far out from a true playoff spot though and both teams are playing their first game back from the All-Star break so the energy will be high in this one. The Warriors have been the slightly hotter team lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games and went into the break off a win over the Rockets while the Kings went into the break off a loss to the Pelicans and are 4-6 in their last 10. The Kings also made some moves at the trade deadline and one of those was shipping out their star player to the Spurs. They did end up getting LaVine in another trade, but the team might not be better off as they were playing so well with their new head coach before shaking everything up. The Warriors also made some moves at the deadline to improve and so far it has been panning out as they have looked a lot better in their last few games with Jimmy Butler in the lineup. Both of these teams have the same record coming out of the All-Star break, but the Warriors are in a better position with the moves they made and they are going to come out of the break strong as they push to get into a true playoff spot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“The NBA in its infinite wisdom makes us play an 8:45 (p.m.) game and they clearly don’t care about rest or player health.” - Steve Kerr on the NBA schedule. 

“It’s a good problem to have. I’m not complaining at all. Is it difficult? Yeah, a little bit because you’re trying to learn on the fly and that can be tough with guys trying to find their rhythm – when do I go, plays, defense, coverages, all that stuff – but we’re not going to make excuses. The organization has done a hell of a job of getting us talent, and now it’s my job to figure out how to make it work and get us wins.” - Doug Christie on the team’s new look.
