Rod, I'd love to hear why you like them. I'm on the fence here...Sacramento does shoot well, but they had to earn that victory last night against Utah, and I worry about this team away from home.

Also, any thoughts on the 225 total ?

With this particular play I am just looking at the line and betting accordingly. People high on this Kings team right now because they are seemingly the team that is stopping streaks of opposing hot teams at home but we know it's a different ball game on the road. Add to the fact of the high intensity game from last night against a rested Warriors team coming off a loss at home and have shown their ability to bounceback from home losses I'm prepared to lay the points tonight.

Tough to read the total in this one, if I had to choose I would have to take the over but that depends on how much the Kings can bring to the table in the 2H. I'd say the 1H OVER would be a better option.

Thanks for the write-up, very informative!

One question - have we seen, this season, any examples of the Warriors coming off bad home losses this season ?

Take this with a grsin of salt because one can manipulate stats anyway they choose to..

Since the Warriors started their home season 0-4 SU/ATS, they have played 18 home games. During that span they are 4-1 SU/3-2 ATS after a home loss.

IMO SU is in the bag tonight, why they will cover is because of a sell down in public perception of this Kings team who (hopefully) will show the effects of the up and down game they played last night against the Jazz late in the 2H.

Sounds good, I'm going to stab at GS in this late game.

If you think the Kings will cover the 1H would it not then be better to take the Warriors at HT instead of before tipoff?

They are playing in Oakland tonight not in Sactown. Well I sure hope they are
