These are 2 teams going opposite directions as the Kings are shorthanded losing 6th man of the year leader/candidate Malik Monk along with Kevin Huerter while losing 5 of their L7 games.  On the flip side Golden State is healthy and playing good basketball winning 10 of their L12 games.   

SAC is a team that relies on tempo & offense to make up for lack of consistency getting stops.  With some firepower lacking due to injuries, it will be easier for the Warriors to key in on SAC’s main guys & they won’t be able to keep up with a GS team that can do both score and defend at elite levels.

“There’s levels to this shit!” and GS is just on another level than SAC.  Since Steph and the warriors won a their first championship in 2015, they are 8-3 (72.7%) SU in elimination games with the 2 losses coming from LeBron and another when both KD and Klay got hurt.  They have the experience edge, coaching edge, and the best player on the court.  They will flex their muscles once again in this elimination game.
