The Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings collide at the Golden 1 Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Kings vs Warriors Prediction. This article will include a Kings vs Warriors Pick.
Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in pretty good form as they’ve won five of their first eight games and they will be eager to maintain that momentum after last night’s 118-107 win over the Suns. Stephen Curry led the team with 28 points, Moses Moody provided the spark off the bench with 24 points on seven of 11 shooting while Quinten Post chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and three assists.
As a team, the Warriors shot 49 percent from the field and 19 of 42 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Suns from the start and dominated the first quarter by 33-19 to open up a 25-point lead. Before they had to scramble at the end of the game after the Suns rallied to cut the lead to single digits. Jimmy Butler III scored just two points on one of five shooting before leaving the game in the second quarter with lower back soreness.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have yet to get anything going this season and they will be hoping to bounce back here after coming up short to the Nuggets in a 130-124 road defeat on Monday. Russell Westbrook led the team with 26 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on 10 of 17 shooting, DeMar DeRozan added 19 points while Dennis Schroder tallied 18 points with nine assists.
As a team, the Kings shot 52 percent from the field and nine of 27 from the 3-point line as they allowed the Nuggets to get off to a flyer. They quickly fell behind by 15 points, which proved just too much to overcome despite a late run.

Kings vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Al Horford and Jimmy Butler III, while the Kings are keeping eyes on Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis who are both questionable. Both teams are missing some key players and the Warriors are playing theire second game of a back to back set, but I still like them at the short line in this spot. The Kings have been a mess so far, they could be banged up for this contest and they’ve only won two of their seven games.
The Warriors aren’t quite as dangerous without Butler in the lineup, but they are still playing great basketball at the moment and I think they get over the line behind a big game from Curry in this spot.
