Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: the Kings' success is hard to believe

Prediction for the NBA Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors match which will take place on April 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Kings have tried to improve their defense this season but have not succeeded. Mike Brown's team is still vulnerable, but they've also become less efficient on the offensive end. As a result, they finished third in the West last season and ninth in the conference this year.e

In the final game of the regular season, Sacramento could have fallen out of ninth place, but they did not let that happen, beating Portland 121:82 on their home court.

In the last game of the regular season, the Warriors did not count on Sacramento losing in the match against Portland, releasing a less-than-optimal lineup for a home game against Utah. The reserves won 123:116. Clay Thompson scored 25 points in 19 first-half minutes, while Andrew Wiggins had 19 points in 20 minutes.

Golden State finished the championship with a 46:36 rebounding advantage. That is even better than last season 44:38, when the Warriors finished sixth in the West.

Despite finishing lower, Golden State did better in this championship than in the previous one - Steve Kerr's team had two more wins. This shows that the Warriors have improved their game. Sacramento's performance has worsened - from 46:36 last year to 48:34. In other words, Mike Brown's team has become weaker. But even without these indicators, the Kings' success in the upcoming game is hard to believe. Golden State has had a tremendous second half of the season, playing basketball at the level of the best teams in the NBA, and it would be unfair if they didn't make the playoffs in the end.
