Kings vs. Warriors same-game parlay predictions Nov. 1: Bet on Steph Curry and Golden State
The Golden State Warriors host a De'Aaron Fox-less Sacramento Kings tonight.
The pregame narrative: Sacramento's leading scorer is out with an ankle injury and the Kings are 7-point road underdogs as a result. I'm teasing that number down and backing the Warriors to cover and am also betting the over on alternate point totals for Steph Curry and Keegan Murray.

Kings vs. Warriors same-game parlay
Parlay: Warriors -4 + Curry over 27.5 points + Murry over 14.5 points (+300)
Warriors -4 (-190): The Warriors took on a fully healthy Kings team in Sacramento last week and covered this number with ease, winning 122-114.
That scoreline makes things seem closer than it was, too. Golden State held a 16-point lead with five minutes left in the fourth before Sacramento chipped away with some garbage time buckets. Fox scored 39 points in that game.
He's sidelined tonight and the Warriors are playing at home. Golden State has also covered this number in four of its last six games against Sacramento dating back to last year's playoffs. I'm expecting a very comfortable win for Curry and Co.
Other parlay picks
Curry over 27.5 points (-230): Halloween might be over, but Kings fans are about to face their personal nightmare. Curry has dominated Sacramento lately, scoring at least 28 points in each of his last eight games against his divisional rival.
He averaged 33.7 points against them in the postseason last year and picked up where he left off with a 14-of-19, 41-point outburst against them on Oct. 27.
The Kings aren't a great defensive team and Curry has continued to expose that. There's no reason to believe he'll slow down tonight.
Murray over 14.5 points (-148): Someone's going to have to step it up with Fox sidelined and Murray makes the most sense to me.
The second-year small forward is averaging the second-most attempts per game (14.3) on the Kings and he's made good use of those opportunities, clearing this line in each game.
Through three games, he's shooting 5.8% lower than last year's 45.3% mark but some positive regression and increased volume should help him easily clear this line.
