Kings-Warriors prediction, odds, pick: NBA best bets for Wednesday

Three first-round NBA playoff rematches from last season take place this week, including Wednesday’s matchup featuring the Warriors welcoming the Kings.

Golden State staved off Sacramento in seven games of an incredibly entertaining first-round series last April.

The Warriors won Game 7 at Golden 1 Center and responded with another win in California’s capital city last Friday night, 122-114, as 3.5-point underdogs

Golden State bounced back following an opening night loss to Phoenix as the Warriors received 41 points from Stephen Curry.

The Warriors are 5-1 in the past six matchups with the Kings since falling behind, 2-0 in that first round series.

Sacramento is the defending Pacific Division champions, which is a phrase that many people thought would never be uttered with the likes of Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard leading teams in the same division.

The Kings lost their first four games in the Chase Center last season before grabbing their first victory in an elimination spot in Game 6 of the first round.

Sacramento was a solid team to back in those games in San Francisco, posting a 4-1 record against the spread.

Betting on the NBA?

In this quick revenge spot for losing the home opener to the Warriors, the Kings are worth a strong look with the points as a road underdog.
