Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

I don’t want to back the Kings as much as the next guy, but the Warriors go on a winning stretch against bad teams, and now they’re double-digit favorites. I’m not buying it. Hell, the Kings have won 6 of the last 8 games against the Warriors, which includes a win back in November. We’ve seen the Warriors outright lose twice this season as a double-digit favorite. Again, I’m not eager to bet on the Kings, but this line is nuts for a Warriors team that’s underachieved all year. It’s the points or pass for me.
