Kings vs Warriors NBA Preview
The Warriors could obviously use the win here. Meanwhile, the Kings don’t really care, and they haven’t cared for a pretty long time now.
Keegan Murray is still out for Sacramento. DeMar DeRozan is questionable, and there’s no real reason for him to play. Russell Westbrook, Isaiah Stevens, Drew Eubanks, De’Andre Hunter, Domantas Sabonis, and Zach LaVine are all out for the Kings as well.
However, the Warriors have a bunch of injuries too. Gui Santos is already out for this game. Steph Curry is probable. Kristaps Porzingis is questionable (knee).
Side note, I don’t see why the Warriors would play Porzingis in this game. They should probably be able to beat the Kings without him, especially if they have Curry. Al Horford is out. Quinten Post is out. Moses Moody is out. Jimmy Butler is obviously out.
So, who is going to get points and rebounds in this game? Anybody.
You can get points in the paint against the Warriors. They allow the 13th-most points in the paint on average this season — and yes, that’s with Draymond Green, who is obviously a good deal older now.
Kings vs Warriors Predictions, Betting Analysis
This is a matter of looking at the injury report and seeing what’s going to happen in this game. I like this play more from a points standpoint, but I think he will get rebounds as well. So, I'll take the combo prop.
Maxime Raynaud recorded 28 points and nine rebounds against the Pelicans the other night, and he went for 11-and-11 against the Clippers, where it felt like he just missed a couple of easy ones or else he probably would’ve gotten there.
Raynaud has posted some really good games lately; he's being productive for a team that isn't trying very hard right now.
I think Maxime will have a nice game against the Warriors tonight, especially with the size advantage he has if Porzingis is out. So, I'll take Raynaud over 25.5 points & rebounds.
Pick: Maxime Raynaud Over 25.5 Points & Rebounds (-120)
