The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is a game for the play-in tournament between the 9th and 10th seed in the West with the loser of this game being eliminated from playoff contention while the winner will move on to play against the loser of the 7th/8th seed game to decide who gets the 8th and final seed in the West for the playoffs. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 46-36 record overall and they have looked a lot better in their road games this year with their 25-16 road record. They were the last team to make this play-in tournament since they are in the 10th seed, but they also clinched a while ago and have been gaining some momentum coming into this one. They have looked really good in their games lately with their 8-2 record in their last 10 games and they are going to give their best effort in this elimination game. Meanwhile, the Kings have also looked good in their games this season with their 46-36 record overall, but they were also much higher in the standings in the West and have been sliding down lately. They had plenty of opportunities to try and clinch a true playoff spot and even avoid this extra game they are playing in, but they have looked terrible lately with their 4-6 record in their last 10 games. The Kings have been sliding down the standings over the last few weeks while the Warriors have been stepping up their game lately and it will show in this elimination game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.
