Kings at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 125, Kings 106
Moneyline
PASS.
The Warriors (-300) should close out the series Friday at Chase Center, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Golden State should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -7.5 (-110).
The Warriors are much more dangerous at home and are 40-17-1 ATS in their last 58 home games. Golden State should come out extra focused to close out the series at Chase Center and avoid playing a Game 7 on the road. Sacramento is a young team and may lack confidence after losing 3 straight games to the defending NBA champions. Look for Golden State to secure a double-digit lead early and to not let Sacramento back in the game.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 236.5 (-110).
The Under is 5-1 in Sacramento’s last 6 games after scoring 100 or more points in its previous contest and 4-1 in its last 5 on the road.
The Under has gone 17-7-1 in Golden State’s last 25 vs. teams with a winning record and should hit again Friday as the Warriors tighten up defensively to avoid playing a Game 7 on the road.
