Warriors vs. Kings Prediction and Odds for November 5
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors secured a win against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. They face a quick turnaround to play the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Curry, dealing with an illness, might miss this game, while Jimmy Butler, who left Tuesday’s game early due to a back issue, leaves uncertainty for the Kings.
Oddsmakers currently have Golden State as the underdog for the upcoming matchup.
Team Performance and Injury Updates
- Sacramento Kings have a 2-5 record this season.
- The Kings recently lost to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
- Golden State Warriors have a 1-3 road record this season.
- The Kings rank in the bottom 10 in the league for net rating.
- They have struggled against the spread with a 3-4 overall record and 0-2 at home.
- Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis are listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game.
Prop Bets to Watch
Domantas Sabonis, though questionable, is a key prop bet candidate. Despite averaging only 4.0 assists per game this season, Sabonis has surpassed this assists line in his last three games. This could be an advantageous bet against a possibly shorthanded Warriors team.
"Sabonis is averaging just 6."
Prediction
Given Sacramento’s struggles and injury uncertainties on both sides, this is a close contest. The Warriors’ underdog status reflects concerns about their health and travel schedule. However, the Kings’ inconsistent performance and injury doubts cast doubt on their ability to secure a win.
Author’s summary: Despite injury concerns and tough scheduling, the Warriors face a challenging but winnable matchup against an inconsistent Kings squad up for potential surprises.
