Prediction
Kings 110, Warriors 101
Moneyline (ML)
The Kings enter this game as road favorites at -250. They have won two in a row, including their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers on the road, while the Warriors (+200) have lost six straight games. Golden State is only 7-21 at home this season and the Kings are 11-18 on the road. The Warriors have only won six games all year at home when they were underdogs. The Kings have only been favored on the road six times all season before Tuesday. They are 3-3 in those games.
With Draymond Green possibly missing this game, the Warriors have almost no chance. Take the Kings to win this game at –250.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Kings are favored by 6.5 points on the road on Tuesday. They have had a peculiar run over the last two months. Excluding one push in a loss, when the Kings win, they cover the spread. When they lose, they do not cover. In their last 12 wins, they are 12-0 ATS, dating back to December 15. Of course, that comes from not being favored often, but they are 0-11-1 ATS in their last 12 losses as well.
The Warriors have still covered the spread twice in their six-game skid. They are 11-13 ATS as home underdogs. That said, that run by the Kings is too much to overlook. If you expect the Kings to win, you have to take them to cover as well.
Take the Kings at -6.5 (-106) tonight.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 226.5 points tonight. The Kings and Warriors have hit the Under in both previous matchups this season. Golden State is 26-31 O/U and the Kings are only 30-26 O/U. Golden State is 11-13 O/U as home dogs and the Kings are 4-2 O/U as road favorites.
The two teams have not combined for over 210 points in either of their previous matchups. Take the UNDER in this game.
