Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: The most thrilling series thus far

The NBA Playoffs have spit fire right from the first round and with higher seed Bucks and Grizzlies facing elimination games, the competition level looks higher than it has been in years. And then we have to acknowledge the most thrilling series in the first round and that has been between the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors. Who will take the lead here?

Game V: How much will De’Aaron Fox’s injury impact the Kings?

In Game IV, the Warriors pinched out a one-point win, winning 126:125 to tie the matters and continue their superb form at home. They have recovered from their two losses away from home and this sums up their season. They really need to win one away from home considering that the Kings have two of the next three games at their home court. The game was close for most parts but a strong 37:23 quarter put the Warriors on top. Harrison Barnes got a good look to win the game with a second left but missed.

De’Aaron Fox finished with 38 points, nine rebounds, and five assists but injured himself. Keegan Murray had an impressive 23 points night, nailing five triples. Malik Monk had a strong 16 points game off-the-bench but starter Harrison Barnes shot just 3/11. For the Warriors, the guard trio of Steph Curry, Jordan Poole, and Klay Thompson combined for 80 points(Curry:32, Poole:28, Klay:22), Curry and Klay combining for 9/20 from three-point line. Andrew Wiggins had 18 points and eight rebounds whereas Kevon Looney scooped up 14 rebounds and six assists.

Expert Betting Tips

The Kings and the Warriors have given the fans what they wanted and the series has panned out as expected. So we begin from scratch but the difference can be De’Aaron Fox’s injury and the Kings need his production. He is questionable but he did express that he can play. The Warriors’ awful record away from home is going to be a storyline but if there is a time to break the curse, it is this one. Anyway, I back the Kings mostly because of their home-court advantage. I predict a scoreline of 119:113 in favor of Sacramento.
