The Kings are home, playing much better than the Warriors and have double revenge. So it's not too much to ask them to simply win this game.

Sacramento is 7-2 in its last nine games. Sparked by the return to health of underrated star DeAaron Fox, the Kings rank in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency during this span. The Kings concluded a six-game road trip this past Friday beating Minnesota, which has the top record in the Western Conference, so they've had ample rest and preparation time.

This is just the Kings' sixth home game. They are 4-1 in Sacramento.

Golden State has played just one road game since Nov. 8. The Warriors are 1-3 in their last four away contests with that victory occurring against the 2-15 Pistons.

While the Kings are 7-2 in their last nine games, the Warriors are 2-7 in their past nine games. Golden State's only victories during this time frame were versus the Spurs and Rockets. They went 0-2 against the Timberwolves, who the Kings just defeated by 13 points.

Draymond Green is eligible to return from his five-game suspension. That may work against the Warriors, though, in his first game back because Green could be rusty, or he could cause chemistry issues with his in-your-face style.

The Kings haven't forgotten the Warriors nipping them, 102-101, on Nov. 1 at Golden State when Klay Thompson hit a contested jumper with two-tenths of a second left.
