The Kings enter this game with a 2-1 series lead and so far the home team has won every game and covered. The Kings were a good road team this season with their 25-16 road record, but the Warriors were 33-8 in their home games this season and they showed just how good they can be in game 3 of this series. The Warriors needed to step up in game 3 to avoid going down 3-0 in the series and they came up big with a 17 point win. Now that they have some momentum on their side from that win and still have 1 more game at home with a chance to even up the series, the Warriors are going to come out strong and ensure they get out to a big lead here. The Warriors are still the defending champions and they are going to defend their home court with a chance to even the series with a lot of momentum going into Sacramento. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.
