The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 5 of a 7-game series between the 3rd seeded Kings and the 6th seeded Warriors for the 1st round of the playoffs in the NBA Western Conference. This series is all tied up 2-2 going back to Sacramento as the Warriors were able to win both of their home games and stretch this series out. The Kings were really close to winning that 4th game and taking a 3-1 series lead but they were unable to win that game late as the playoff experience of the Warriors really showed. The Kings are now in trouble going back home as they could be without their star player De'Aaron Fox who is now dealing with an injury. That is a huge blow for the Kings since he is dealing with a finger injury that will affect his shooting and the Kings won't have enough in the tank to beat the Warriors without him. The Warriors were bad in their road games this year and are fortunate to even be tied 2-2 in this series, but now that they have the momentum on their side along with this key injury for the Kings, the Warriors will dig in with their playoff experience and take advantage of their chance to take a series lead in this game. The Warriors are still the defending champions and they are going to show why when they show up big in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“These games are coming down to the wire, and you’ve just got to really finish possessions and try to give yourself the best chance, and then sometimes, it’s just, does the ball go in or not.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Kings in their game on Sunday, game 4 of this series.

“We made some timely mistakes, especially in the fourth quarter. This is where our playoff inexperience comes into play because you can’t rest out there, or you can’t think that you can play something a certain way and the champions are not going to make you pay the price.” - Mike Brown after his team’s loss against the Warriors in their game on Sunday, game 4 of this series.
