The Sacramento Kings (25-18; 23-20 ATS) ended their four-game losing streak last Monday, defeating the Atlanta Hawks 122-107 as 8.5-point home favorites. Three days later, the Kings edged the Golden State Warriors 134-133 but failed to cover a 1.5-point spread at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Harrison Barnes went off for 39 points last Thursday, while Domantas Sabonis posted a line of 18 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds. The Kings made 52.7% of their field goals (22-for-48 from deep) and posted a terrific 33/10 assist-to-turnover ratio.
“The way you have a high-powered offense is all five guys are going to have to make sacrifices at times,” Barnes said, crediting his team's unsel fishness.
