The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors are only 42-38 overall this season and they have been terrible in their road games with a 9-30 road record. The Kings are 48-32 overall this season making them one of the best teams in the West and they are 23-17 in their home games too. The Kings have already clinched their playoff spot and their division though so they have nothing left to play for. The Warriors still need to win this game though as they are in 6th, the last playoff spot, and they will be looking to avoid the play-in game with the Lakers hot on their trail. The Warriors need to win this game to give themselves a better path to the playoffs so they will be more motivated to win this game, especially since they haven't been good on the road all year and will need to change that for the playoffs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“Our sense of urgency, our physicality, our pace, all of that stuff was really, really good in the first half. They came out in the second half and took it to us. The game was basically reversed in that area.” - Mike Brown after his team’s loss against the Mavericks in their game on Wednesday.

“It’s fun, this is all what it’s about. We love the competition and even though we’d prefer to be home free in the playoffs right now, this is where we are. Really proud of the guys what they've done here in recent weeks to put ourselves in this position but now we've got to go finish the deal and get into the top six." - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Thunder in their game on Tuesday.
