Kings at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 114, Kings 109
Moneyline
Both teams enter the game playing well after some struggles. The Kings have won 3 straight games. Golden State’s defense has been solid recently. They have allowed 108.4 pointes per game over their last 8 games and have found some offense, scoring 121 points and 139 points in their last 2 contests.
With both stars (Fox and Curry) out, I look more at Golden State’s defense to be the difference.
The Warriors should win but you are better betting the spread than the ML.
PASS.
Against the spread
Only 1 of the Warriors’ 18 wins has been by fewer than 4 points.
The Kings are 3-5 ATS as underdogs. They have not covered the spread in a loss this season.
BET WARRIORS -2.5 (-115).
Over/Under
Three of their 5 meetings last season had totals higher than 224 points.
Six of the Warriors’ last 8 games have not reached 225 points.
The Warriors are 7-10 O/U after a win and 0-4 O/U on the second game of a back-to-back.
BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).
