The Warriors are down 0-2 for the first time ever in the playoffs, meaning that the Kings are pretty close to the West Semis.
Before Betting on the Kings vs. Warriors
Sacramento beat the NBA champions twice in a couple of days, suggesting that their season isn’t just a lucky turn of coincidence. After 17 years of sitting outside the playoffs, the Kings have a nice chance to win, cruise past the first round, and go much deeper into the playoffs.
Domantas Sabonis should be ready for Game 3 after Draymond Green’s stomping on his chest. The Lithuanian is the most influential player of the Kings, averaging 19.1 points, 12.3 boards (1st in the league), and 7.3 assists.
The champions will be without Green, who is suspended due to his violent behavior in Golden One Center. The Warriors are complete now, with Andrew Wiggins returning to action and performing very well over the opening two events, averaging 19.5 buckets, yet not delivering that confidently on the defensive side.
Steph and Klay deliver 50 points each night combined, but the chemistry in the Warriors’ offense needs to be better. There were many disorganized possessions, which often ended with Curry or Klay taking a long three.

The over/under line is at 239 points, which is too high for us. Why? The Warriors need to play much better defense to win this one, and with 0-2 down, Steve Kerr’s team will be extremely physical and aggressive. That should decrease the number of buckets.
