Premium Pick

Surprisingly this is the first meeting of the season and Golden State comes into the game on a two-game win streak with victories over Philadelphia and Memphis and covering both. Andrew Wiggins scored 24 points and the Warriors beat the Grizzlies last night 121-113 even without Stephen Curry, who was rested. Sacramento has won three straight following a six-game losing streak, which cost coach Mike Brown his job. The Kings still are 1-7 ATS their past eight games following an ATS win and they are on a 2-8 ATS run. Sacramento is 6-12 ATS against the Western Conference. The Kings beat Memphis 138-133 on Friday and it soared OVER by 29 points. The Warriors have gone OVER two in a row and they are 6-0 OVER as home favorites of 0.5-4.5 points. Golden State has won nine of 11 home games against the Kings and Curry should be back in the lineup. Take the Warriors and the OVER.
