Warriors at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 125, Kings 120
Moneyline
The Warriors will be desperate to tie the series. If not for Monk’s 31 points and a few missed opportunities, the Warriors could have taken Game 1. Look for Curry to continuing dominating and for Wiggins to have a bounce-back game after struggling from beyond the arc.
LEAN WARRIORS (-115), but if you’re confident in a Golden State win the spread offers a better value.
Against the spread
LEAN WARRIORS -1.5 (-105).
Fox and the Kings have proven their abilities in clutch moments, but this just feels like it is a must-win for Golden State, and based on their history they will show up.
Over/Under
BET OVER 239.5 (-115).
The Under is the more trendy pick here, but Game 1 proved these teams have very high scoring potential even when not all of the best players show up. Expect this to be another offensive shootout like Saturday’s game.
