Headline #1: Battle of the Offenses

During the course of this season, both the Warriors and Kings’ offenses have been electric. For the Warriors, they have relied on their elite ball movement, shooting, and roster which has resulted in them averaging over 116 points a contest while recording over a 112 offensive efficiency rating which is the best in the league.

As for the Kings, their offensive success has come from executing great in their fast-paced offense led by De’Aaron Fox. As a result, Sacramento averages (in 38 games) around 115 points a game while recording an offensive efficiency rating of 108 which is ranked thirteenth in the NBA.

Expect an offensive showdown from both these teams tonight. Golden State is going to rely mostly on their star power in guys like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant. As for Sacramento, their young guys in De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Willie Cauley-Stein need to play well in order for their team to put up points on the board.
