Now, the Warriors' overall record sits at 44-38, placing them 6th in the Western Conference. The team's current record at home is 33-8 and 11-30 on the road. Golden State's record against the spread is below .500 at 39-43.
Through 83 games, the Warriors have put together one of the top scoring offenses (2nd) at 118.9 points per game. Not only that, but they enter today's game averaging 129 points per game over their last five games. A key to the team's offensive success is their ability to push the pace while not sacrificing efficiency. This year, the Warriors are 2nd in possessions per game, while also hitting 38.5% of their three-point field goal attempts. Currently, Golden State's overall effective field goal percentage of 57.1% is 5th in the NBA.
The Warriors will look to step up their defensive effort in today's game, as they currently sit at 22nd in the NBA for points allowed per game (105.5). Although the team has held up well on the defensive glass (11th) and forced turnovers, at an average of 15.7 per game, they still have mediocre overall numbers. Opponents have hit 33.9% of their three-point shots and 43.9% of their overall field goal attempts against the Warriors.
Sacramento Kings - NBA Betting Analysis
The Kings enter today's game looking to build some momentum after a 126-123 win over the Warriors. De'Aaron Fox and his 38 led the way for the Kings. Not only did Sacramento win the game, but they also covered the spread as 1.0-point favorites.
With the win, the team has moved to 48-34, placing them 3rd in the Western Conference. So far this season, they have gone 23-18 at home and 25-16 on the road. This season, Sacramento's ATS record sits at 45-37.
With an average of 120.7 points per game, the Kings are ranked 1st in the NBA in scoring. Despite this, their recent performance has been below average, scoring just 111 points per game in their last five contests. Sacramento has utilized their pace effectively this season, with an average of 101.7 possessions per game, which ranks 2nd in the league. Their fast-paced style has offset their three-point field goal percentage of 36.9% (13th). The Kings are 3rd in the NBA for free-throw attempts and have a shooting percentage of 79.0%.
Defensively, the Kings enter today's game having allowed an average of 105.5 points per game, placing them 22nd in the league. One problem for the unit has been their inability to generate turnovers, ranking 24th at 13.1 per game. This year, opponents have hit 43.9% of their field goal attempts and 33.9% of their shots from beyond the arc. However, Sacramento has held up well on the boards, ranking 11th in the NBA in defensive rebounds per game.
