Season series: Warriors lead 2-1

The Kings snapped a 4-game skid with a cover as 8.5-point home favorites in a 122-107 win over the Atlanta Hawks Monday as the Under (237.5) hit. F Harrison Barnes scored a team-high 32 points against the Hawks, who were without All-Star G Trae Young.

Kings at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 120, Warriors 115

Moneyline

The KINGS (-130) should pick up where they left off against the Hawks after finally ending their losing streak. Sacramento is 7-4 this season with a rest advantage and has not been a road favorite against Golden State since Jan. 4, 2021, meaning this is a good spot for the Kings.

The Warriors may be flat emotionally after an impressive win in their 1st game back Wednesday.

BET KINGS (-130).

Against the spread

I wouldn't lay the 2.5 points unless I got them at plus-odds.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 7-3 in divisional play for the Kings this season and has hit in 4 of their last 5 meetings with the Warriors. These Kings-Warriors rivalry games tend to have a playoff-like atmosphere with a slower pace and ramped-up defense; the last 2 meetings were decided by just 1 point.

BET UNDER 242.5 (-110).
