The current betting odds have the Kings listed as a 7 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 3 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. The Kings have taken a 2-0 series lead here and they have been great in both of their games. The Warriors have been great in their home games all season with their 33-8 home record but the Kings have also been a better road team than at home and have a 25-16 road record this year. The Kings could go on to win this series by winning every home game in the series but they have been the better team in both games and have a chance to put a big dagger in the Warriors here by taking a 3-0 series lead and forcing them to win 2 road games if they want to have a chance at advancing. The Kings were one of the best teams in the West all year and they have been rolling in their games lately. They have the potential to pull off an upset win in this game so they will cover this spread with ease. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.

But we were able to negate that.” - De’Aaron Fox after their win against the Warriors in their game on Monday, game 2 of this series.
