De’Aaron Fox is averaging 29.3 points and 7.7 assists, while Malik Monk is averaging 18 points and 4 rebounds.

Stephen Curry is averaging 31.3 points and 3.7 assists, while Andrew Wiggins is averaging 19.7 points and 1.3 assists.

The Kings are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. The Warriors are 40-16-1 ATS in their last 57 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. The under is 6-1 in Kings last 7 overall. The under is 9-3-1 in Warriors last 13 home games. The Kings are 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Golden State and 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
The Golden State Warriors should be favored at home for obvious reasons, and another comfortable win wouldn’t be surprising. The Kings looked their age in game 3, a little big eyed for the moment. Still, the Kings have been covering machines on the road this year where they win by an average of 1.6 points. This is a lot of points to just throw the Warriors way. I’ll take a stab with the free buckets and the Kings.
