Warriors vs Kings Prediction & Pick (Nov. 28)

The Kings enter this matchup hoping to exact revenge after falling 102-101 to the Warriors back on Nov. 1. Having said that, things look promising for Mike Brown’s team.

While the Warriors most recently beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, it’s worth noting that Golden State hasn’t won back-to-back games since, well, defeating the Kings and then beating the Oklahoma City Thunder two nights later.

Fast forward to tonight and the Warriors are 2-7 SU (and 1-7-1 ATS) in their last nine games. They’ve struggled at both ends of the court during that stretch, scoring just 112.4 PPG on 43.7% shooting while allowing 117.2 PPG on 47.1% shooting.

Additionally, Golden State has dropped three of its last four road games, whereas Sacramento is 4-1 SU (3-2 ATS) with a plus-3.8 average scoring margin at Golden 1 Center this season.

It’s hard to have much faith in the Warriors when Stephen Curry isn’t getting any help. The legendary sharpshooter is the only player on the team who’s shown up to play lately, averaging 28.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 40.2% from the three-point line over Golden State’s last nine games.

For reference, the Warriors don’t have any other player even averaging 20 points during that stretch. Klay Thompson is the next-highest scorer at 13.8 PPG, but he’s only shooting a putrid 34.8% from the field in those games.

Meanwhile, the Kings have seven players averaging double-digit point totals over their last nine games — a span where they’re 7-2 SU. Three of those players are averaging 16.3 or more points with De’Aaron Fox leading the way with a 29.3 PPG clip.

With superior depth and a knack for better results as of late, I’m taking the Kings to clinch Group C tonight. The Warriors just aren’t that consistent and while Curry is in the middle of one of his best seasons, he can’t outgun Sacramento on his own.

With that in mind, let’s also go with the Kings — who are 6-2 ATS in their last eight outings — to cover the 1.5-point spread. Winning by a single basket isn’t too much to ask for, especially with the Warriors failing to cover in each of their last five outings.

Warriors vs Kings Prediction: SAC wins

Best Bet: SAC -1.5 (-115 on Bovada)

Warriors vs Kings Best Player Prop

After browsing Bovada’s Warriors vs. Kings player props, I’m taking the Under on Klay Thompson’s 19.5-point total.

As previously mentioned, Thompson has been dreadful this season, averaging 15.0 points on .402/.367/.875 splits across 16 games. Even though he finished with the Over on this prop twice in his last three games, those are the only occurrences of him doing so this season, suggesting they were more of an anomaly than anything.

Furthermore, Thompson is only averaging 16.0 PPG in his last three meetings with the Kings, finishing with the Under each time.

Bet: Klay Thompson u19.5 Points (-120 on Bovada)
