The Warriors are coming into this game with a 46-36 record this season and they have actually been a much better team on the road this year at 25-16. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have won 4 of their last 5 as well as 10 of their last 12 games, being one of the hotter teams in the league to end the season over these last 2 weeks. They have won 7 of their last 8 games as well. They are going up against a Kings team that is 46-36 this season, but they have been awful in their recent games as they have been slipping down the standings the last 2 weeks when they had a chance to stay in a playoff spot. They are coming off of a win in their last game of the regular season, but that win came against the Trail Blazers who have been one of the worst teams in the league all year. They have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 games in this spiral to end the season, and their only 2 wins in that span were both against teams with losing records. The Kings have actually won the last 2 straight games against the Warriors and their last 3 meetings this season have all been very close as well. The Warriors are going to get up for this game though as it is an elimination game and even though it is not really a playoff game, the Warriors still have a lot more experience than the Kings do in these elimination games, the Warriors having Championship pedigree on their side as well. Recently, these two teams have been trending in opposite directions with the Warriors heating up a lot toward the playoffs while the Kings have been slipping down the standings in the final weeks. The Warriors have also been in this situation before against the Kings as they beat them in 7 games in the playoffs last season, needing to win 2 of the last 3 games of the series and doing so in both road games, including game 7 in Sacramento. The Warriors experience is going to kick in while playing this game and they will be very focused on pulling ahead without taking their foot off the gas. The Warriors will cover the spread in this game.
