Offensively on the road, the Kings rank 10th in points per game, 24th in field goal percentage, and 25th in 3-point shooting.

Warriors Spotlight

The Golden State Warriors just won their 7th straight game, this time taking down the San Antonio Spurs despite resting a large portion of their team. Offensively at home, the Warriors rank 7th in points per game, 6th in field goal percentage, and 4th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Warriors rank 1st in points allowed, 1st in field goal percentage, 2nd in 3-point shooting, and 7th in rebounding. 

Final Say

The Warriors starters are coming off rest, while they will be playing a 19-34 team, and they are coming off an improbable victory, so it is hard to see them coming into this one fully-focused and ready to blow a team out. They also will be playing the Thunder after this one, which is another team with a losing record, so motivation may not be throttling right now. The Kings are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 meetings with the Warriors, and are 2-1 ATS in their last three games, so they are playing with some momentum. Just a bad spot for the Warriors to come in and cover double-digits. Grab the free points and back the Kings on the road tonight.

Pick: Sacramento Kings +13.5
