Analysis: While the Golden State Warriors are playing at home in this contest, I like the Sacramento Kings to cover the spread against the high-scoring Warriors for the sixth consecutive time, likely by picking up the outright road win.

I also like the Under in this contest despite the fact that these teams have combined to score at least 100 points in seven of their last eight outings.
