Randy’s Pick
The Kings just can’t get out of their own way to finish a game, and their defensive effort has come and gone. The Golden State Warriors have been firing on all cylinders offensively, and they just beat the Kings in overtime on the road a few days ago. The Warriors have won 12 of their last 14 preseason games overall, so they’re a team you should continue backing in these meaningless games. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Warriors on the road.
