Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are coming off a victory against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night and face a quick turnaround with a game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Curry is questionable due to illness, while Jimmy Butler, who left Tuesday’s game early with a back issue, may also impact the matchup.
Oddsmakers have set Golden State as an underdog for Wednesday's game. Sacramento holds a 2-5 record this season, having lost to the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Kings might capitalize on a Warriors team that has struggled on the road, posting a 1-3 record away from home.
Despite this, Sacramento remains a bottom 10 team in the league by net rating. They have also been inconsistent against the spread, with a 3-4 overall record and 0-2 at home. Additionally, both Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis are listed as questionable for the upcoming game.
Domantas Sabonis, averaging just 4.0 assists this season, has surpassed this line in three consecutive games. Although questionable for Wednesday, he remains a strong candidate for prop bets against a potentially depleted Golden State squad.
"Sabonis is averaging just 6."
With both teams facing injury concerns and inconsistent performances, this game could hinge on depth and player availability.
The Kings, despite their struggles, have a chance to exploit the Warriors' road weaknesses and injury issues, potentially securing a win at home.
Author's summary: The Warriors' injury concerns and poor road record create an opportunity for the struggling Kings, though key player doubts on both sides make this matchup unpredictable.
