Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings: Current situation
With Butler in the line-up the Warriors are 12-1 SU now, which is one of the best records in the NBA. Although his stats of 17.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game won’t blow anyone away, the impact on the chemistry by Butler has been immeasurable. There’s no room for complacency though, the Warriors have the 13th hardest remaining schedule, so they still have a long way to go before they clinch the 6th seed.
Sacramento is in a much more difficult situation with 18 games left. Only the Phoenix Suns have a harder remaining schedule, so the likes of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine face an uphill battle in their quest to land this team a play-in tournament spot. Betting on the Kings has been very profitable as of late – they’ve covered the spread in 7 of 8 games overall and in 5 straight on the road.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
The 130 points scored against the Blazers was the Warriors’ high point of the 5-game win streak. They got 56 points off the bench with Buddy Hield and Gary Payton II combining to score 46. Even more help is on the way with Jonathan Kuminga finally returning after his injury. Golden State has now covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 home games played on a Thursday.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
Allowing 133 points to the shorthanded New York Knicks wasn’t a good look for the Kings who are desperate to get something going on the interior defensively as their big man Sabonis continues to miss games. Even the three-ball has cooled off a bit lately, with the Kings scoring 11 or less threes in 4 of their last 6 games, so there is plenty of work ahead for head coach Doug Christie.
Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings: Head-to-Head

So far the Kings have won 2 of 3 meetings, they could potentially clinch the regular season series with a win on Thursday. This will be the 416th regular season meeting all time between the two teams.

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings (13.03.2025)
Losing Domantas Sabonis has been a devastating blow to the Sacramento Kings play-in tournament ambitions and the injury couldn’t come at a worse time. The defense has really suffered without the big man, ranking just 23rd in efficiency over their last 3 games. So it’s no wonder that the Kings are just 1-3 SU during that stretch, their only win came against the tanking San Antonio Spurs. Meanwhile, the mood around the Warriors couldn’t be any more different. The team has flourished since the arrival of Jimmy Butler, after their latest win over Detroit they’ve won 5 games in a row now and are in sole possession of the 6th seed in the West. The duo of Butler and Curry has been lethal on both ends, the two players just complement each other very well as they play very different styles. Butler’s defense will come into play in Thursday’s game as well, he will likely get the tasks of guarding DeRozan and LaVine here, so the Kings could be handicapped on the offensive end even more than normal. Golden State dominated the most recent meeting 132-108, that game was played some 3 weeks ago when Butler was already a part of the Warriors, so we have a pretty good understanding of how things might play out in this one. Golden State is 7-1 SU over their last 8 games overall, they’ve also beaten 4 of their last 5 Western Conference opponents. With Sacramento struggling to cover in head-to-head meetings (just 3-6 ATS in 9 games), we feel like backing the Warriors is the best way to approach this game.
