Kings vs. Warriors Prediction & Pick
This best-of-seven series has become a best-of-three series after both teams split the first four games. The Warriors narrowly avoided going down 3-1 with a one-point win in Game 4, but they’re not out of the woods yet.
Now they must return to Sacramento, where they lost Games 1 and 2 by a combined 11 points. Golden State has had major issues on the road this year, going 11-32 away from the Chase Center.
The Kings, on the other hand, are 25-18 at home and have proven to be a tough matchup for the Warriors in this series. With three games being decided by 8 points or less so far, home-court advantage could be the difference in what should be a closely contested Game 5.
WARRIORS vs. KINGS GAME 5 FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: Kings 121, Warriors 116
Game 5 Warriors vs. Kings Best Bet
With the Kings favored by just 1.5 points at home and the spread offering better value than the moneyline, we’re taking Sacramento to win by at least a basket. This Warriors team simply can’t be trusted on the road, so we’re fading them even after back-to-back wins. Sacramento’s been the better team this year and will prove that again back at the Golden 1 Center on Wednesday.
