Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

It’s hard to pick this game this early when you see Kuminga and Curry on the injury report. You have to check for injury updates before locking in a bet. With that said, I’m still rolling with the Warriors. Even with the rest advantage and three straight wins, the Sacramento Kings have underachieved all season and are 12-22-1 ATS on the year. No team in the NBA is worse at covering numbers than the Kings this season. The Warriors have quietly won 3 of their last 4 games, and 10 of their 18 wins have come at home. I simply trust the Warriors more in this spot, especially at home. Give me the Warriors and the reasonabl chalk.
