The Kings have lost three straight games to drop to 27-44 on the season. They have not been technically eliminated from playoff contention, but it is going to happen soon. They are 7 games out of the eighth seed right now. Over these last three losses, Sacramento has fallen by at least 16 in all of them. The Kings are now 34-34-3 against the spread. They are averaging 102.9 points per game on offense while allowing 106.5 on defense. On the road, Sacramento averages 100.7 on offense while giving up 105.9 on defense. Buddy Hield is leading the team with 14.2 points per game right now while Tyreke Evans is adding 14 points per game as well.

Bet on Kings vs. Warriors

The Kings have nothing to offer and they certainly can’t match what Golden State is bringing to the floor tonight. The Warriors just have too much shooting and are playing as well as they have since Durant went down with the injury. Golden State is at home and confident against a team that is mailing it in. Look for a lopsided win.
