Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors: Current situation
All is well and good for the Sacramento Kings right now as they find themselves in the 8th seed with a 22-20 record. Over their last 10 games they’ve won 9 of them, beating quite a few quality teams along the way. Hiring a new head coach in Doug Christie appears to have fixed all of their issues, De’Aaron Fox is no longer the talk of the league as a player that wants to move to a different team.
The Warriors might be the most injury riddled team in the NBA right now, alongside maybe the Philadelphia 76ers. Right now they have 4 important players on the injury report with Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Kuminga all potentially missing Wednesday’s game. Stephen Curry is the team’s only bright spot right now as they find themselves outside the play-in race in the West at 21-21.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
Sacramento had a favorable match-up in their most recent game as they faced the lowly Washington Wizards who they beat 123-100. Domantas Sabonis lit up the Wizards with 29 points and 18 rebounds, while Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan added 23 and 24 points respectively. It was the 6th time in 8 games that the Kings were able to cover the spread, they enter this game riding a 6-game home win streak.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
Facing the Celtics on MLK day was a disaster for the Warriors who managed just 85 points in a 40-point blowout at the hands of the defending champions. Besides Curry who had 18 points, only one other Warrior scored in double-figures. The offense has just fallen apart for Golden State, the injuries have taken a massive toll on them and the All-Star break cannot come soon enough.
Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors: Head-to-Head
Winning the first meeting of the season by 30 points has now equaled the tally of wins for both teams in their last 10 meetings. Those 10 games have been marked by high scoring, with an average of 232 points per game scored. It’s worth pointing out that the Kings have struggled to cover the spread in home games vs the Warriors, going just 1-4 ATS in the last 5 such games.
Sacramento Kings – Golden State Warriors Odds
Being 7.5-point favorites here means that you only get 4/11 odds for a straight up Kings victory. If you feel like the Warriors can somehow pull off the upset, then odds of 15/8 are available to support a road win here.
The point total has been set at 225.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors (22.01.2025)
It’s quite obvious that these two teams are headed in completely different directions right now. The Warriors trajectory has been going downwards for quite some time now, not really surprising considering they are in the bottom half of the NBA in offensive rating over the last 10 games played. Draymond Green’s absence hurts them quite a bit, his physicality is something that they could use right now. Dennis Schroder has not fit in as the Warriors front office hoped he would after acquiring him from the Brooklyn Nets, the Warriors are just in all kinds of shambles right now. Meanwhile, the Kings couldn’t be feeling better ahead of this game after a 23 point blowout win over the Wizards. It was their 9th win in 10 games, the big 3 of Sabonis, DeRozan and Fox remain the only trio in the NBA to average 20+ points on the same team. For a team like the Warriors who have the 6th worst defensive rating over the last 10 games stopping those 3 will be a major challenge. On top of that the Warriors have failed to cover the spread in their last 8 games vs Pacific Division opponents, we would be shocked if they managed to get anything out of Wednesday’s game. We’re backing the Kings to cover.
