The Golden State Warriors travel to the Golden 1 Center to take on the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.

The Golden State Warriors will be looking to stay undefeated after outlasting the Clippers in a 115-113 on Thursday for their second straight win. Stephen Curry led the team with 45 points and 10 rebounds on 16 of 25 shooting, Andrew Wiggins added 17 points, six rebounds and three assists while Draymond Green chipped in with 10 points, six rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 51 percent from the field and 15 of 31 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 44 points to lead by as many as 19 points, but they allowed the Clippers back in the contest and needed a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter to escape with the narrow win.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings will be hoping to bounce back after falling short to the Jazz in a 110-101 home loss on Friday night. Harrison Barnes led the team in scoring with 25 points and 15 rebounds, Buddy Hield drained six 3-pointers on his way to 24 points off the bench, Tyrese Haliburton added 15 points with six assists while De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 12 points, five assists and five steals. As a team, the Kings shot just 39 percent from the field and eight of 36 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and really took it to the Jazz to lead in the first half, but just 21 points in the fourth quarter was not enough to hang with the Jazz. Fox had a rough shooting night as he shot just five of 19 from the field while Davion Mitchell scored just three points on one of eight shooting in 32 minutes off the bench.

Looking at the betting trends, the Warriors are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on two days’ rest, 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a favorite and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a win. The Kings are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog, 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog.

Head to head, the under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Sacramento, the Warriors are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Sacramento and the Warriors are 1-9 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall.

The Kings are certainly capable of pulling off the minor upset at home, but they’re going to need better efficiency from Fox who had a rough shooting night against the Jazz on Friday. The Warriors would’ve taken so much confidence from their hard-fought win over the Clippers and they will be well-rested as they haven’t played since Thursday. With that being said, I’m sticking with the Warriors to escape with the win and cover on the road.
