I'm kind of down on Sac this year just because of all the injuries so i'd guess GSW take this one

In a series, the Warriors win this. But in a single game? Leaning Sacramento but with zero confidence.

Fox will need to push the ball like a madman for Sac to win.

Lately the teams that beat GS go white hot from the arc. So SAC strategy should be “shoot 50+%” on 3s.

Agree. Though riddled with injuries, they have some pretty good offensive players out there so if the Warriors can't find theirs i think they can steal this one.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

In a series Sac wins no doubt. This 1 game is 50 50 though.

Trayce Jackson Davis getting the start is interesting. Guess Kerr isn't confident in the Warriors ability to stay in front of Fox so he's looking for a little bit more resistance at the rim all while sacrificing offense.

One game anything can happen, but I lean Warriors because of Monk's injury, he has a big impact whenever he plays GSW.
He has been starting for at least 12 games, it's just the current starting lineup.

You know for all the hate Curry and Klay got this year, the splash brothers STILL were Top 5 in the league in 3's made, with Curry being #1
Don't see that changing tonight, I see a ton of 3's going in the basket tonight for GSW. Curry is gassed, just like in 21, but I think he has enough to get them past the Kings.
I also just don't like this Kings team. They have solid players, but they are missing that connector between Sabonis and Fox, and right now it's not Murray.

Re: 2024 Play-In Tournament (West): #9 Sacramento Kings vs #10 Golden State Warriors
The game is tonight!? I thought it would be on Friday, for some reason,
I'm not confident in this Warrior team because there have been many ups and downs throughout the season, plus the coaching struggles as well.
Well then, let's see what happen. I'll try my best to be here with the forum friends.
Already getting my smoked mortadella + grilled mussarella + grilled tomatoes sandwiches ready.

I think it's because the Kings ended 4-6 and had key injuries to Monk and Huerter, where GSW will only miss GPII tonight and were 8-2 to end. Hot vs. Cold.
The Kings however can get absolutely white hot any night, so who knows what will happen.

I’ll miss the first quarter but I’ll be back in time for second quarter: I have made a wager on the GSW

Kings are giving out shirts tonight that say Feel the Roar. Warriors say they will make Sacramento Feel the Pain haha.
Do the Kings still light the beam? For all the beam lighting that went on last season I don't think I heard about it at all this year.

The fact that everyone is picking Golden State would have me nervous. Also, not having Gary Payton is a big deal in a game like this.
