Kings vs Warriors Odds: Hosts Look to Even Series
Draymond Set to Return for Warriors

Can Kings Steal A Road Win?
The Golden State Warriors responded in a big way in Game 3 and will look to carry that momentum into Game 4 as they try to even their first-round series. Let’s take a look at the Kings vs Warriors Odds and see what value exists in the market ahead of Game 4.
The Kings had one of their worst offensive performances in the Game as they were held to just 97 points on 38% shooting from the field. They also shot 11-for-47 (23.4%) from deep and were just 69% from the free throw line.
Coach Mike Brown won’t be too disappointed with a lot of their attempts, but he’ll be hoping that their first road playoff appearance will help them overcome the tough environment next time out.
Meanwhile, Steve Kerr will like what he got from his bench in the absence of Draymond Green and Gary Payton II. The Warriors will hope to have both back in the fold for Game 4, which in turn could make for interesting adjustments to their rotations after having success running a smaller 3-guard lineup.
The Warriors have opened as 7.5-point favorites for Game 4 while the total has been dropped to 238.5 points. Let’s dive into some top looks for your NBA picks and parlays.
Kings Offense Needs to Find Swagger
The Sacramento Kings offense looked a far cry from the one that finished the regular season as one of the most efficient in league history.
The team has now gone a combined 20-for-85 (23.5%) from 3-point range over the past two games and a lot of that is despite getting good open looks on the perimeter.
The Kings pace and ability to push off misses caused the Warriors problems in the first two games of the series but the Warriors were given an easy way out as the road team found themselves heaving early shot clock three-pointers in transition that were seemingly forced and without reason.
If Sacramento is going to continue crashing the glass the way they have they have to give themselves the opportunity to do so as opposed to heaving shots in desperation in order to try and find a spark.
A lot has been made about the officiating so far in this series and part of what makes the Kings offense so dangerous is that they can get downhill off high screens and attack the teeth of the defense. The team was tentative in doing so on the road and that has to be something that coaches Mike Brown addresses before Game 4.
Warriors Must Replicate Hustle
The biggest standout from Golden State in Game 3 was their effort in areas that had proven costly on the road. The team was +6 in rebounding and they generated 18 Offensive Rebounds on a night where Kevon Looney finished with 20 boards to go with his 9 assists.
The Warriors also won the turnover battle, which is a huge point for a team who finished last in turnover percentage in the regular season. Golden State was +4 in turnovers and +15 in points off turnovers; that margin ultimately proved the difference in the end.
Creating extra possessions and putting pressure on the Kings defense is something they hadn’t managed in the series yet and it seemed to play small allowing them to be more active in rebounding as a group to ensure they were the ones to benefit in key areas.
The Warriors know they have stemmed the tide in a big way and it’s tall ask for a young, inexperienced Kings team to show up in Game 4 with Green back and the crowd now believing that they are the better team.
Look for the Warriors to prioritize their defense early and a first-half Under could be a strong look if they’re able to prevent a lot of those easy buckets for the Kings. Taking some player prop Unders on Domantas Sabonis points is another strong look with Green back and no doubt out to prove a point in manning the paint.
