Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are healthy and rested, and they seem to get up for the Warriors. With it being an in-state battle and the Warriors treating the Kings like a little bother, recent meetings have been competitive and Sacramento has won the last five games. With that said, the Kings have struggled to string together success, and playing at home hasn't made a huge difference, where they're 14-13 SU. The Warriors have won three of their last four games, and there's new energy on the roster with the addition of Jimmy Butler. It's to the point Draymond is guaranteeing the Warriors will win the NBA title. The Warriors have a pep in their step that they didn't have a few weeks ago. I'll lay the bucket with the Warriors on the road.
