Light the Beam vs. the Reigning Champs. It does not get better than this.
The Sacramento Kings are back in the playoffs for the first time in 17 years, and what's their reward? The defending champion Golden State Warriors coming in for a first-round series where the Kings are underdogs despite being a better team by any regular-season measure and holding home-court advantage.
Congrats, Kings! ??
There are series the public will have more excitement for, but this certainly appears on the surface to be the one bettors are circling. Strong opinions have been given, and sides are being taken.
