Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings prediction 1-25-24 Picks

The Sacramento Kings pay a visit to the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Kings vs Warriors Prediction.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been a little below their best as they’ve lost five of their last eight games, but they will be feeling much better after snapping a four-game skid with a 122-107 win over the Hawks on Monday. Harrison Barnes led the team with 32 points on 10 of 20 shooting, Domantas Sabonis tallied 14 points with 21 rebounds and six assists while Keegan Murray and Malik Monk scored 13 points each. As a team, the Kings shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 38 from the 3-point line, but they set up this win their defense as they were always in control after restricting the Hawks to just 16 points in the second quarter. The Kings dominated this one and led by as many as 24 points before the Hawks poured in 38 points in the fourth quarter to keep the final scores somewhat respectable. The Kings will play against the Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Heat after this game.

Kings vs Warriors Prediction

The Kings were really struggling before their dominant win over the Hawks on Monday, while the Warriors were dealing with two postponed games before last night’s much-needed victory. These teams have already played three times this season with each game being decided by eight points or less. The Warriors lead the season series by 2-1, but they are playing this one on zero days’ rest, so I am more comfortable taking the Kings to get the win and cover at the short line here.
