Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Sacramento Kings have a clear edge here considering they have the rest advantage with the Warriors having along layoff and then playing last night. Those young Kings could push the pace and give these older Warriors fits. With that said, this is a big game, and we have seen the Warriors step up in spots like this, especially at home. The Warriors have also won 6 of the last 8 meetings against the Kings. It wouldn't be shocking if the Warriors have one of those vintage performances and make a statement. I'll grab the bucket.
