NBA Play-In Tournament: Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (46-36) and Sacramento Kings (46-36) meet in the NBA Play-In Tournament at Golden 1 Center Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Warriors won 10 of 12 straight up (SU) to finish the regular season but covered just once in their final 6 games, while the Kings lost 5 of 7 SU down the stretch but ended the regular season on a 4-2 against-the-spread (ATS) run.

Golden State was 2-1-1 ATS vs. the Kings in the regular season, and the Over/Under (O/U) went 2-2.

In their most recent meeting on Jan. 25, the Kings, as 1-point favorites, won 134-133 in Sacramento as the Over (244) hit. Kings C Domantas Sabonis scored the eventual game-winning dunk with 22 seconds remaining, and Warriors G Stephen Curry turned the ball over in the final seconds, wasting Golden State’s final possession.

The Warriors beat the Kings 4-3 in the 1st round of last season’s playoffs. The Kings went 4-3 ATS in the series, and the Under also went 4-3. The home team won the 1st 4 games SU, and the away side was victorious in the final 3.

Tuesday’s winner will be play the loser of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans for the 8th seed in the West while the loser is eliminated.

Warriors at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 111, Warriors 110

Moneyline

The Kings (+115) being home underdogs to the Warriors (-140) seems like an overreaction to both teams’ recent play.

Golden State has been winning games SU, but it has failed to cover in recent weeks against bottom-of-the-barrel teams such as the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz (twice).

These poor outings could be due to lack of motivation to win by margin, but the more likely cause is that this is a Curry-dependent team that is not capable of putting together 4 quarters of good basketball.

The Kings haven’t looked great recently, but 10 of their last 13 games were against teams that made the postseason. They easily covered against the Jazz and Trail Blazers — unlike Golden State.

BET KINGS (+115).

Against the spread

The Kings should cover, but I prefer the plus odds on the ML.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 16 of Sacramento’s last 20 games and 4 of the last 6 meetings between these teams.

Given the recent playoff history between Golden State and Sacramento, Tuesday should be a low-scoring, grind-it-out game — unlike their 134-133 shootout Jan. 25. However, the total was 227.5 Sunday evening, so we’d be getting the worst of the number at this point.

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

Golden State Warriors at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Golden State Warriors at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (44-35) and Portland Trail Blazers (21-58) meet at Moda Center Thursday. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Trail Blazers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 3-0

The Warriors have clinched a spot in the play-in tournament but their seed is yet to be determined as they play their final road game of the regular season Thursday. They are in 10th place and a half-game behind the Los Angeles Lakers. They have won back-to-back games, and 8 of their last 9, and are coming off a 134-120 road win over the Lakers Tuesday as 2-point favorites.

The Blazers have been eliminated from postseason contention and own the 2nd-worst record in the West. They are coming off a 110-100 loss to New Orleans Tuesday, covering the 14-point spread as underdogs. They have lost 2 games in a row and 12 of their last 14.

Warriors at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 118, Trail Blazers 106

Moneyline

The Trail Blazers’ only 2 wins in their last 14 games were over the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, 2 other teams with at least 60 losses this season.

The Warriors (-1000) have won 8 of their last 9 games.

The Blazers aren’t a good bet the way they are playing, and the Warriors are a bad bet because of the value.

PASS.

Against the spread

In 3 matchups this season, the Warriors have not beaten the Blazers by more than 10 points.

Of the Blazers’ last 12 losses, only 3 have been by more than 14.

Five of the Warriors’ last 8 wins have been by fewer than 15 points.

BET TRAIL BLAZERS +14.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The last 2 meetings between these teams have had totals of more than 222 points.

Three of the Warriors’ last 4 games, and 4 of their last 6, have had totals higher than this game’s projection.

Only 1 of the last 6 games for Portland has had a total higher than Thursday’s projection.

But Golden State has scored 118 or more in 3 of its last 4.

BET OVER 222.5 (-105).

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (43-35) take on the Los Angeles Lakers (45-34) Tuesday. Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena is set for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Golden State leads 2-1

Golden State beat the Utah Jazz 118-110 Sunday, failing to cover as a 13-point home favorite. G Klay Thompson had a 32-point outing and F Jonathan Kuminga added 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting off the bench in his return from a knee injury. The Warriors have won 7 of their last 8.

Los Angeles lost 127-117 vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday while failing to cover as a 1.5-point home underdog. L.A. allowed Minnesota to shoot 51.5% from the field and were the victims of a 31-point outing for Timberwolves C Naz Reid. Sunday’s loss ended a 4-game winning streak for the Lakers.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 120, Warriors 119

Moneyline

BET LAKERS (-130).

Los Angeles has won in 6 of its last 10 matchups vs. Golden State overall and is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in L.A. The Lakers have also been a very good home team (27-13), so I don’t expect L.A. to lose to Golden State twice at Crypto.com Arena this season.

Davis has had a phenomenal season, ranking as the 10th-best player in the league statistically, according to California Sports Betting; LeBron ranks just behind him at 16th. The play of these 2 stars will be pivotal in the win, and I expect both to show up.

Against the spread

LEAN WARRIORS +2 (-110).

Golden State has covered the spread in each of its last 2 meetings with the Lakers. The Warriors are also 4-2 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Recent Warriors-Lakers matchups have been very close and very evenly matched, so I expect the same here.

This is only a lean because neither team has been very good ATS lately, with Golden State at 5-5 in its last 10 and LA at 6-4 in that same span. The Lakers also hold a narrow 6-4 ATS lead in the last 10 meetings.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 of L.A.’s last 4 games and is 2-1 in its last 3.

For Golden State, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games overall and has hit in 2 of its last 3 road outings. The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Golden State-L.A. matchups.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Utah Jazz (29-48) take on the Golden State Warriors (42-35) Sunday. Tip-off from Chase Center is at 8:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 2-0

The Jazz are reeling. They have lost 11 straight games and 14 of their last 15. They last played Friday, falling 131-102 to the LA Clippers and failing to cover the 12.5-point spread as road underdogs.

The Warriors hold on to the 10th seed and final berth in the play-in tournament, leading the Houston Rockets by 4 games. They are 2 games behind 9th-place Sacramento. They had a 6-game winning streak snapped Friday in a 108-106 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks as 1-point underdogs.

Jazz at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 131, Jazz 118

Moneyline

The Jazz have lost 11 straight games overall and 12 straight on the road. They have been eliminated from postseason contention, while the Warriors (-700) are fighting for seeding and perhaps trying to get to the No. 6 seed in order to avoid the play-in tournament.

Even with Curry resting, it isn’t enough to predict the Jazz will suddenly pull the upset over a Warriors team that has won 6 of 7.

But don’t bet the Warriors at -700. Those are terrible odds to bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors covered the spread in both wins over Utah in February, although they were just 2.5- and 1-point favorites in those games.

The Warriors have covered the spread in 24 of their last 25 victories, while the Jazz have only covered the spread in 3 of their last 14 losses.

BET WARRIORS -11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both previous meetings had totals of 236 and 277.

The Jazz have allowed 127 points or more in 3 straight games.

BET OVER 226.5 (-110).

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Warriors won their 6th straight Thursday night with a 133-110 haymaker to the Houston Rockets. The Splash Brothers, G Stephen Curry and G Klay Thompson, each had 29 points and combined for 9 made 3-pointers. They beat the Mavs 104-100 Tuesday night.

The Mavs are feeling it, too, winners of 8 of 10. After the defeat in the Bay, they clipped the Atlanta Hawks 109-95 Thursday night. G Luka Doncic had 25 points, 12 boards and 8 assists while G Kyrie Irving scored 26 points.

Warriors at Mavericks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 111, Mavs 109

Moneyline

Both of these teams are on the back end of back-to-backs. You’d expect Golden State, the older team, to be weaker in such circumstances. They’re actually 10-5 while Dallas is 7-5 on no rest.

The Warriors are 3 games out of getting out of the Play-In Tournament cesspool. They have more to play for right now.

Take the value with WARRIORS +165.

Against the spread

The Mavs have won 2 of 3 against the Dubs, and the status of Kuminga is a big deal. So while we’re taking the value on the ML, I don’t think it’s wise to double up with the spread. While Dallas is 8-2 straight up over the last 10, they’re 8-2 ATS as well.

This may seem preposterous, but I’m taking STEPHEN CURRY UNDER 4.5 3-POINTERS (-155). This is his 7th game in 10 days, and in those 6 games, he hit 5+ 3’s once. He went 3-for-5 against Dallas 3 days ago. He’s just not chucking them like he usually does.

Over/Under

Dallas is 2-8 O/U over the last 10, and Golden State is 5-5. The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, but the Under has hit in both matchups this year.

That’s where we’re going here. The totals were 231.5 and 233, and the finals didn’t come close. Take the UNDER 225.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Houston Rockets (38-37) welcome the Golden State Warriors (41-34) to the Toyota Center Thursday. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Rockets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 2-0

The Warriors have won both of the season series, but are 1-1 against the spread (ATS). Golden State won 106-95 in the Oct. 29 matchup in Houston, covering as a 7-point favorite.

The Rockets lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-106 Tuesday, covering as a 7.5-point road underdog. Their 11-game winning streak was snapped on Sunday and they have now lost 2 in a row. Houston has failed to cover 2 of its last 3 and is 43-31-1 ATS on the season.

This is a huge game as the Warriors sit 10th in the Western Conference and the Rockets sit 11th. Golden State has won 5 in a row and is coming off a 104-100 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday, covering as a 1-point favorite. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 and are 40-33-2 ATS on the season.

Warriors at Rockets picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 116, Rockets 109

Moneyline

PASS.

Golden State has a veteran team and knows it needs to win this game; however, at -180, it isn’t worth backing on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -4 (-110).

The Rockets have lost 2 in a row and have failed to cover in 2 of their last 3. Houston’s win streak was primarily against non-playoff teams. In its last 3 games against contending teams, it is 1-2 with that lone win having been in overtime.

The Warriors have won 5 straight games, 4 of which have been on the road and 2 of which have been against strong Eastern Conference opponents in Orlando and Miami. Golden State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 and 7-5 ATS in its last 12.

With F Draymond Green playing at a high level again, expect the Warriors to start clicking as the playoffs near. Take WARRIORS -4 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 227 (-110).

The Warriors have gone Under in 5 of their last 7 games, and behind players like Green and G Klay Thompson, they have had a perennially good defense. The Warriors have allowed 100 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games.

The Rockets have gone Under in 2 of their last 5 games, but have tallied 107 or fewer in 3 straight games and have immensely cooled off since scoring 127 or more in 3 straight games from March 16-21.

Given Golden State’s ceiling defensively and the Rockets recent offensive struggles, back UNDER 227 (-110).

Dallas Mavericks at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Mavericks at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (45-29) wrap up a 5-game road trip on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors (40-33). Tip-off at Chase Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mavericks lead 2-0; Dallas is 2-0 against the spread (ATS), with the Over-Under splitting 1-1

The Mavs enter on a 7-game winning streak, while covering the past 5 outings. The Over cashed in Houston (229.5) in a 125-107 win on Sunday, halting a 6-0 run to the Under.

The Mavs are 11-1 ATS in the past 12 outings, while the total has gone low in 8 of the past 10 games for Dallas. That includes a 109-99 win as 8.5-point favorites as the Under (233) cashed in the most recent meeting with the Warriors in the Metroplex on March 13.

The Warriors have won 4 straight games, their longest success streak since rattling off 5 straight wins from Feb. 5-12. Golden State is 3-1 ATS in the win streak, although it failed to cover in a 117-113 win last time out in San Antonio on Sunday as the Over (228.5) cashed. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Dallas holds a slight 4-3 SU edge in the past 7 meetings, but the Mavericks have covered 5 straight. The Over is 6-1 across the past 7 battles in this series, although that lone Under was in the most recent meeting on March 13.

Mavericks at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Warriors 108

Moneyline

The MAVERICKS (-110) are a solid play on the road, as Dallas looks to cap off its road trip at a perfect 5-0 SU. The Mavs have actually won 5 in a row on the road, and 8 of the past 10 away from home, too.

The Warriors (-110) have been playing good ball lately, too, and wins in Miami and Orlando in the past week were impressive. But 2 of the 4 victories on the 5-game road trip came in Charlotte and San Antonio against bad basketball teams, so do the recent winning ways for the Warriors mean things are turning around? We’ll find out a lot on Tuesday. With Kuminga carrying a questionable tag, and Saric out, it could be a tough outing for the Dubs.

Against the spread

The MAVERICKS +1.5 (-120) are worth playing if you need a little insurance although the moneyline is a better value.

Dallas has covered the past 5 games, including road wins against Houston, Sacramento (x2) and Utah, and it cashed in Oklahoma City on March 14 as a 9.5-point underdog. The Mavs are 11-1 ATS in the past 12 games, and getting the job done against some of the top teams in the league lately.

Over/Under

UNDER 232.5 (-115) is worth a look. While the Over has cashed in 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, we had a low-scoring game in Dallas in the most recent meeting 3 weeks ago.

It’s been all about the Under for the Mavs lately, going 8-2 across the past 10 outings, allowing 107 or fewer points in 7 straight, and 9 of the past 10 contests.

The Dubs have also been on an Under run recently, going 3-1 in the past 4 games, and 4-2 across the past 6 outings.

Warriors at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 111, Spurs 106

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Warriors (-375), who are 21-14 on the road, to take down the Spurs, who are 10-27 at home.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +8.5 (-115).

San Antonio has won and covered in each of its last 3 games, all as the underdog. It is 6-3 against the spread (ATS) in its last 9 games and has covered in 4 of its last 6 home games and 3 of its last 4 games as a 12-point or less underdog. While Golden State holds the edge, the Spurs are on a hot streak that merits a wager on the spread.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 226.5 (-105).

Both the Warriors and Spurs have hit the Under in 6 of their last 10 games. Golden State has hit the Under in 3 games in a row and in 5 of its last 7 road games. It has allowed 97 or fewer points in its last 3 and has scored 113 or fewer in 7 of its last 10.

San Antonio has scored 107 or fewer points in 7 of its last 10 and has allowed 115 or fewer in 7 of its last 10.

Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (37-34) take on the Orlando Magic (42-29) Wednesday with tip-off from Kia Center set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Warriors lead 1-0

The Warriors defeated the Miami Heat 113-92 Tuesday night as 3.5-point faves. G Klay Thompson shouldered the load with 28 points on 6-for-14 from distance. After struggling with the 3-ball for much of the season, he’s shooting 41% from deep this month, which is more in line with his career average. The Dubs need to pick it up, as they’re 4-6 over the last 10, and the Houston Rockets are just 1 game from kicking them out of the play-in tournament.

The Magic are firmly in 5th place in the East and sit just 1½ games from jumping up to 3rd. Their efforts took a hit with a 109-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings Saturday as 3-point favorites. The setback snapped a 5-game winning streak. F Paolo Banchero had 22 points, 7 boards and 5 assists.

Warriors at Magic and predictions

Prediction

Magic 118, Warriors 112

Moneyline

I’m a little worried about G Stephen Curry. He’s averaging 21.8 PPG this month, which is fine, but he averages 26.7 on the season. He’s also shooting an abysmal (for him) 35.7% from long range and 41.3% from the floor overall in March. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith has a motto that in the playoffs: “superstars will get you one.” And Curry could absolutely take over and lead the Dubs to a win. However, on the back end of a back-to-back, and with his recent showings, I’m siding with the books.

That said, I’m not touching the -175 on the young Orlando squad.

Instead, I’m keying in on F Draymond Green. He’ll have a bit of a size advantage underneath and could stuff the stat sheet. He is averaging 9.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG and 6 APG in the last 4 games. Take DRAYMOND GREEN OVER 20.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-125).

Against the spread

We’re projecting Orlando to cover here, but I have a more profitable idea.

Banchero has drained a 3-pointer in 12 straight games and is shooting at a career-high clip of 36.5% on the season. The problem is his line is 1.5, and he has hit two 3’s in 4 of those 12 games. He went 3-for-8 against Golden State in January, and the Warriors will entice you to chuck up some 3’s. He just has to hit 2 of them, and I’m taking the value with PAOLO BANCHERO OVER 1.5 3-POINTERS (+100).

Over/Under

The Warriors are 6-4 O/U over their last 10, and the Magic are 3-7. The Over 230.5 cleared by a mile in the 121-115 meeting in Cali in January. This number has been trimmed quite a bit, and I’m feeling the OVER 218.5 (-105).
