The Warriors are entering this game with an 18-22 record overall and they are 11-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with losses coming against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Atlanta Hawks still to be played on Wednesday. In their game against the Grizzlies, Stephen Curry led the team in points in that game with 26 while Jonathan Kuminga was next on the team with 20 points. Stephen Curry led the team in assists in that game with 8 while Jonathan Kuminga led the team in rebounds with 11.

The Warriors have an ATS record of 19-21 this season and their O/U record is 24-16.

The current betting odds have the Kings listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 24-18 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the West right now. They haven't looked as good in their road games this season with their 10-10 road record, but they haven't looked bad in those games either and they have some momentum on their side from a win in their last game. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 18-22 record overall which has them closer to the bottom of the standings in the West. They haven't even looked that good on their home court either with their 11-11 home record this season. They have lost 2 games in a row now but they have also had a long lay off considering the tragedy that happened to their assistant coach. They will be rested from that long lay off but they are also in a bad situation here with this being the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them. The Warriors are going to come out strong with a good effort after having so much time off but they are going to be feeling the effects of their back-to-back and the Kings will find a way to edge them out as they have been a lot more consistent this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.

“I thought he was really aggressive. He scored in multiple areas on the floor tonight. That was a lot of fun to see.” - Mike Brown after his team’s win against the Hawks in their game on Monday.

“We played very poorly defensively, but a lot of that had to do with our offense. Nineteen turnovers that turned into 30 points. Their game plan was simple: Shoot as many 3s as possible, and get into transition as often as possible. For us to foul 25 times to their 12, that's the story. They just played a really clean game.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s loss against the Grizzlies in their game on Monday last week.
