The Kings come into today's matchup as one of the top-scoring teams in the league at 120.7 points per game (3rd). However, their production has slowed down of late, averaging just 115 points per game over their last five contests. Sacramento has used pace to its advantage this season, averaging 100.6 possessions per game, which is the 2nd most in the league.

In terms of getting to the free-throw line, the Kings are 8th in the NBA in attempts while connecting at a rate of 79.0%.
The Kings will look to step up their defensive effort in today's game, as they currently sit at 25th in the NBA for points allowed per game (115.8). Although the team has held up well on the defensive glass (12th) and forcing turnovers, at an average of 13.1 per game, they still have mediocre overall numbers. Opponents have hit 37.1% of their three-point shots and 48.1% of their overall field goal attempts against the Kings.
Golden State Warriors - NBA Betting Analysis
After taking down the Kings by a score of 123-116, the Warriors are riding a three-game win streak. Stephen Curry led the way in scoring with 31 points. Not only did Golden State win the game, but they also covered the spread as 2.0-point favorites.
With the win, the team has moved to 44-38, placing them 6th in the Western Conference. So far this season, they have gone 33-8 at home and 11-30 on the road. Golden State's record against the spread is below .500 at 41-45.
So far this season, the Warriors' offense has been one of the top units in the NBA, sitting 4th in the league with an average of 118.9 points per game. In their last five games, Golden State is averaging 118 points per contest. The key to the Warriors' offensive success is in their balance of pace and efficiency. This season, they are ranked 3rd in the league in pace, while also hitting 38.5% of their three-point shots. Currently, the team's effective field goal percentage of 57.1% is ranked 4th in the NBA.
Defensively, the Warriors enter today's game having allowed an average of 115.8 points per game, placing them 25th in the league.

However, Golden State has held up well on the boards, ranking 12th in the NBA in defensive rebounds per game.
