Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings: Previous matchups
The Warriors last met the Kings on January 5, 2025. This ended in a 30-point loss for the Warriors who had no answer for the Kings’ fast-paced offense. Stephen Curry and Malik Monk led the game in scoring, each recording 26 points for their teams. This upcoming game will be the second meeting between the Warriors and the Kings during the 2024/25 season. Stephen Curry is due for a big night and with the Warriors struggling, this could be the perfect opportunity for him to take charge. It'll be interesting to see how Golden State answers back to last game's embarrassing loss.

Warriors vs Kings game prediction
The Golden State Warriors failed to defeat the Sacramento Kings during their last meeting even though De’Aaron Fox was missing. With Fox back in the lineup, we can’t imagine that the Warriors will be able to change the result this time around. We believe that this will be an easy win for an in-form Kings team.
