Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings have been in a real funk as they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games overall, but they had won two games in a row before they got stopped by the Clippers in a 138-109 loss on Sunday. Devin Carter led the team with 21 points and five assists; Nique Clifford added 18 points with five assists, while Dylan Cardwell and Daeqwon Plowden each scored 15 points. As a team, the Kings shot 53 percent from the field and nine of 32 from the 3-point line, but they were put on the back foot right away after leaking 42 points in the first quarter and things only got worse in the third quarter where they got outscored by 36-20 to trail by as many as 37 points.
Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a real slump as they’ve dropped 14 of their last 19 games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a four-game slide after falling painfully short to the Rockets in a 117-116 loss on Sunday. Stephen Curry led the team with 29 points on 11 of 21 shooting off the bench, Brandin Podziemski added 18 points on seven of 11 shooting, and Gui Santos chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 50 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled for most of the contest and had to work hard to overcome a 15-point deficit with just 19.6 seconds left on the clock before the Rockets’ Alperen Sengun made the game-winning layup shot on the following possession to break the Warriors’ hearts.

Warriors vs Kings Prediction
The Kings have ruled out Keegan Murray, Isaiah Stevens, De’Andre Hunter, Domantas Sabonis and Russell Westbrook, while the Warriors have ruled out Al Horford, Quentin Post, Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler III with Kristaps Porzingis listed as questionable. The Kings were looking good during their two-game win streak before their blowout defeat to the Clippers, but they opened as heavy underdogs in this one against the Warriors, who would feel unlucky not to beat the Rockets in their last outing. The last time these two teams met, it was the Warriors who won by 137-103 back on Jan 9 and I think we’re about to see a similar result here now that the Warriors have Curry back on the court. The line is hefty, but the Kings have nothing to play for at this stage of the season, so I will back the Warriors to claim the easy win at home in this spot.
