After a controversial ending in their last matchup just a few days ago, the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings are set to run it back on Sunday evening. Both teams will be mostly healthy for this matchup, as the only absences are the expected ones.
For the Kings, they will be without only their G-League assignment players, which include Keon Ellis, China Moneke, and Neemias Queta. For the Warriors, they
will be without only Andre Iguodala, who continues to work his way back from a hip injury, and Patrick Baldwin Jr., who is dealing with lower back soreness.
These two teams played a down to the wire battle in their last matchup, and it took a heroic effort from Steph Curry to pull it out. Even with Curry’s dominance, a missed call in the final seconds of the game would have given the Kings an opportunity to force overtime.
With their sights set on a potential playoff appearance this year, the Kings would love to get a win against the defending champion Warriors. In need of wins themselves, this is a game the Warriors also must get. This should make for an exciting battle once again.
With both teams relatively healthy, the stars will be playing, which always adds another level of excitement. The Warriors and Kings will begin at 6:00 PM PST in Sacramento.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, the Dubs beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-101 this past Friday. Point guard Stephen Curry continued his habit of dropping
crazy stat lines, shooting 6-for-11 from downtown and finishing with 40 points and five dimes. Chef Curry’s night made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 39 points.

Sacramento is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 5-0 against the spread when expected to lose.
Sacramento is now 5-6 while the Dubs sit at 5-7. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Kings have allowed their opponents to shoot 49.90% from the floor on average, which is the highest
shooting percentage allowed in the league. The Dubs have experienced some struggles of their own as they are worst in the league in points allowed per game, with 119 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
