With just a single win in their last six games, the Golden State Warriors try to get right ahead of the play-in when they visit the Sacramento Kings.
SacTown has gone full tank mode and should be sporting a bunch of unknowns Friday night.
Despite that, my Warriors vs Kings predictions and free NBA picks don't think Golden State is in any state to run through any team, even one as awful as the Kings.
Warriors vs Kings prediction
Warriors vs Kings best bet: Kings +10.5 (-110)
Stephen Curry sat out the front end of the Golden State Warriors' back-to-back, missing the Lakers' game, which ended in a 119-103 LA romp.
He is expected to be back in the lineup and will take on the Sacramento Kings, the last team he played on Wednesday (April 7), scoring 17 points on 5-for-12 shooting in a Warriors 110-105 victory.
The Warriors are also expected to get some players off the injured list and into the lineup, including big men Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) back in the lineup.
Curry has only played in 41 games this season, and the Warriors' offense is in shambles because of it.
They were a bottom-5 scoring team in the NBA when he went down with a knee injury on January 30, and missed the next 27 straight games, plummeting to 10th in the West.
As for the Kings, the season end couldn't come sooner. Sacramento looks nothing like the young, fun, and up-and-coming "Light the Beam" squad from two years ago, and almost every key player is in street clothes.
That includes DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), Russell Westbrook (foot), and Keegan Murray (ankle).
The Warriors have taken four of five in this head-to-head, and aside from the last meeting, have won by at least 26 points in the other three wins.
But these aren't the same Warriors. And while they should win, they're really just trying to get Steph Curry up to full speed before the play-in. That's no stress, and definitely not a blowout.
Warriors vs Kings same-game parlay
Let's focus on the Golden State star working to get back into game shape.
Steph has been held to 26 minutes or less in the two games since returning from a knee injury, but scoring 20 is nothing, especially against the Kings. In his last 25 vs SacTown, Curry has touched 20 points 21 times.
His assist numbers fluctuate more, but he's had at least five assists in four of the last five games against these Kings.

Knocking down the moneyball is what Curry does best, and he's consistently lighting up the Kings from deep. He's hit at least four 3-pointers in eight of his last 10 against Sacramento.
As for his rebounding, grabbing three boards shouldn't be a problem: he had five last game against the Kings, and has had at least three boards in 11 of the last 14 against them.
