Kings vs. Warriors Prediction & Pick

Each of these teams has something to fight for as the Kings are looking to earn the No. 2 seed and the Warriors are aiming to stay a top-six seed in order to avoid the play-in tournament. Sacramento's goal is dependent on the Grizzlies losing each of their last two games, though, so it's a long shot.

Golden State has been terrible on the road for most of the season, but the Warriors have won two of their last three games away from home. They remain the fourth-highest-scoring team on the road (117.2 PPG) and now get to face a Kings team that may end up resting stars like Domantas Sabonis.

Sacramento has lost seven of its last eight games against Golden State, so fade the Kings here.

Final Score Prediction: Kings: 110 | Warriors: 126

Kings vs. Warriors Best Bet

Keep an eye on Klay Thompson ahead of tip-off after he was sidelined on Tuesday with a back injury and is considered day-to-day. Assuming he is able to suit up, he has a chance to go nuts from beyond the arc. After all, the sharpshooter has drained at least 5 three-pointers in six of his last seven games.

Thompson is shooting a dependable 41.5% from long range during that span and now faces a Kings defense that is allowing an opponent three-point percentage of 37.3% on the year (No. 26 in NBA). This game means a lot for Golden State, so trust Thompson to step up under the bright lights again.

Bet: Klay Thompson Over 4.5 Made Threes (+100)
