Warriors vs. Kings NBA Betting Odds
Even though Sacramento took Game 1 by the score of 126-123, the Kings are still +124 on the series line with the Warriors -167. On the series handicap, Golden State at -1.5 games is +113 and Sacramento at +1.5 is -179. The favoured series result is Warriors +217, and a Kings sweep is the +1543 long shot. The over-under for series games is 5.5, with the over a -333 favourite. That it finishes in six games tops the list at +149. Game 3 is in San Francisco on Thursday.
Last year on the way to winning the NBA title, the Warriors were 3-1 in Game 2s – losing the lone road game of the four in Memphis. This is the Kings’ first time in the playoffs since 2006.
Golden State is 1-4 ATS in the past five meetings.
Golden State Warriors
In the Dubs’ 126-123 loss on Saturday, Andrew Wiggins played for the first time since mid-February as the Toronto native and former No. 1 overall pick had been dealing with a family issue. Wiggins came off the bench for the first time in his NBA career and had 17 points but was just 1-for-8 from deep, missing an open corner three in the final seconds that would have given Golden State the lead. The Kings would hit two free throws on the ensuing possession, and Steph Curry missed a three-pointer at the buzzer. He had 30 points and Klay Thompson 21, but the rest of the starting five had only 22 points. The Warriors may have shot too many threes, attempting 50. Golden State has a 24-8 record SU since 2015 after a playoff loss. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their past five following an ATS loss.
Sacramento Kings
De’Aaron Fox scored 38 points for the Kings in the opener, the second-most points by a player in league history in his first-ever playoff game (Luka Doncic had 42 three years ago). Fox scored 29 points in the second half and hit the three-pointer that gave Sacramento the lead for good late in the fourth quarter. Malik Monk added 32 points off the bench and broke a record held by Ben Gordon (2005) for most points scored off the bench in an NBA player’s postseason debut. Fox and Monk became the second pair of teammates to score more than 30 points in their postseason debuts. The only other duo was Alonzo Mourning and Kendall Gill with the 1993 Hornets. The Kings are 1-4 ATS in their past five at home.
