The Kings came back to reality 3 days ago and got pummeled by a pissed off Dub Town, down by as many as 23 at one point. After back to back highly emotional games, most expected that performance. The Kings offense relies on the 3 ball, which GSW defends very well, Sacramento shot 23.5% from 3 in the last two games. If you remember in late January when they had their offensive struggles, they failed to consistently drain the 3. What can they do to score? Take more jump shots and GET TO THE RACK. “Light The Beam” is averaging 28 free throws per game in this series and when you attack the Warriors they have a tendency to foul, and foul often. We know the Warriors are great at home, hence the line, but Sacramento had the 2nd most road wins in basketball. Most are approaching this game simply as, bet against GSW on the road, bet on them at home. I don’t think it’s that easy, give me the points here.

Atlanta got 2 nights in their own bed and made the correct adjustments. They also got one would argue, Trae Young’s best playoff performance of his career and they flat out wanted it more than Boston. After 2 dominant victories I can’t say I was surprised. Now can we count on another stellar performance from Trae, I surely wouldn’t. One day of rest instead of two, will surely make a difference as well, trying to figure out ways to control Boston. Atlanta will have the home PLAYOFF crowd to keep them in it, but in the end the cream will rise to the top and Boston’s class will pull away. Lay the points!
If there is an opportunity to bet them live and you can get a low number take advantage of that as well.
