The first-round series between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors hits the road for the next two contests in San Francisco and the defending champions trailing 0-2 in the series following the 106-114 loss on Monday.
Game 2 was filled with drama as Draymond Green received a flagrant foul 2, ejecting him from the match, and a subsequent one-game suspension.

Season Series
Golden State won the season series 3-1 with victories on October 23rd (130-125), November 7th (116-113), and April 7th (119-97) while the Kings won on November 13th (122-115).
Last season the teams played four times with the Warriors sweeping the season series. The Warriors have won 215 of the 408 matches played versus the Kings all-time.
Sacramento Kings
Credit to Mike Brown for getting his club to play defense. As silly as that sounds Sacramento ranked 24th on that side of the hardwood this season allowing 118.1 opponent points per game.
As far as the stomp that set social media on fire the ejection of Green for stepping on Domantas Sabonis very likely led to the Kings’ win.
At the time of the incident, the Warriors were on a roll having cut the lead to four while holding the Kings to eight points. After Green left the court the Kings scored 23 points to ensure another night of the beam being lit in Sacramento.
This Cinderella season continues for Sacramento with De’Aaron Fox winning the first-ever Clutch Player of the Year and Mike Brown unanimously winning Coach of the Year.
Stats
Presently, offensively, the Kings are among the very best in the association with the highest scoring output averaging 121.3 points per game. Similarly, they perform well in the proficiency areas registering 49.6% from the field and 37.1% from deep ranking second and ninth overall.
On the negative side, Sacramento ranks 26th in opponent scoring allowing 118.2 points per game while foes shoot 49.2% from the field and 37.3% from the perimeter ranking 29th and 26th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Domantas Sabonis PF (probable—ribs)
- Matthew Dellavedova PG (OUT —finger)
Golden State Warriors
For the first time in Steph Curry’s playoff career, his Warriors are down 2-0 to start a series. Every year offers some adversity but the Curry era has avoided it for the most part.
The worst scenarios occurred in 2016 first when they fell behind the Thunder 1-3 then lost the title to the Cavaliers after leading 3-1 in the series, ironically tied to another Green suspension.
Stats
Comparatively, Golden State averages 118.9 points per game ranking second overall while shooting 47.9% from the field and 38.5% from deep ranking 12th and second respectively.

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
Sacramento was one of only two Western teams (Clippers) who had a winning road record during the season. In contrast, the only teams with worse road records than Golden State are the three teams with the best odds to win the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.
Whatever your stance is on the Green flagrant/suspension it’s likely these next two games will be officiated differently. Part of the reason why the Kings suddenly are defending better is due to effort, but also because they’re being allowed to foul more freely.
To wit, keep an eye on Curry, he’s being held, often even before the ball is inbounded. Mike Brown had his team well prepped but I suspect the whistle will favor the Warriors at Chase Center and the Steph holding in particular won’t go unpenalized like it was in Sac.
I’d say Jordan Poole would replace Green as the starter but he’s had a rough series and Kerr needs his offense off the bench so my guess is he bolsters the defense with either Jonathan Kuminga or Gary Payton II.
Regardless of who gets the nod, this is a must-win for the Warriors.
