For me this was an expected win by the Kings. Overall they are better like a team and they just destroyed the Warriors in this home game. The odd was honestly too big on the Kings and probobly a goft. The Warriors will need to get some new trades and new players for upcoming season because Curry cannot play alone.

The trend was really different and based on the bookies it was the warriors who are the better team.

If we look at the past games before the play-in, the Warrior are winning games while the Kings are struggling, resulting for their team to be in the play-in. But in the game vs the Warriors, they played their heart, they protect their home and they "light the beam".. However, travelling to the NO for another game, that's a tough one IMO.

Safe to say congrats in advance to the Sacramento Kings. So in the first round of the playoffs, we'll see Thunders vs Kings.

That wasn’t the greatest second half, but it is always a good night when the Kings light the beam. A bit of a shame Klay had such a bad night in what was likely to be his last game in a Warriors uniform, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

I think the Kings have a real shot at beating the Thunder, but I believe they still have to get through the Pelicans first.

Yeah, very poor performance for the Warriors, they work hard in their last couple of games to stay at the 10th spot and facing the Kings, they have a great chance to win. But the Kings lock them up in this game and there's no denying that the dynasty is over.

Klay Thompson, the other part of the splash brothers are no where to be found in this important game. The Kings will have a shot if Zion, presumably injured, will not play in their game. Ingram is still on limited minutes. So congrats to those who back up the Kings here.

Yeah we can say that this is not the Warriors what we see for past years. They play so bad and their gunner which is Klay Thompson is totally a messed on that game. Maybe this will be the end of Dynasty since for sure Warriors management would not let this to happen again and they are showing that they are not interested to give a max contract for Klay so provably that we can see Thompson to play on different team next season.

I thought they can take the lead when Kings is down to 4 and Warriors starting to get the momentum but their hopes has been down when Kings offence accelerate and they didn't give Warriors a chance to recover.

This is big win for Kings so congrats to them,fans and also for people who win on their bets.
And it's gonna be hard if you are a Warrior fans for Klay to not score in their most important game and not help the team at all. And this might be the last time to see the 3 together as his performance here could mean a lot for the Warriors to offer him a good contract. But it is what it is, end of dynasty. While on the other hand Keegan Murray scored 29 points. And he step up again in this game, becoming the 2nd or 3rd option or even their 1st for their offense. But it's not done yet, they have to travel to Pelicans homecourt and get another win so that they can be in this playoff. I think the momentum is with them now as Zion might not play.

This Kings vs Warriors game is living up to expectations. Their games during the regular season were so close… I think this one will come down to the wire too. The Kings have a chance to end the Warriors dynasty for good right now but you know the Warriors aren’t going down without a fight. This is one of those games you know you’ll wake up bruised tomorrow from.
I am watching right now and the 3rd quarter just ended. Too many bad shots outside the paint for the Warriors and it's a big problem. Score now is 91 - 76 led by the Kings. Let's see if they're going to have some retrieval and those bad shots will turn into good and lucky hands as that's what I think they need to do for the 4th quarter. This 15 points of led is so much to be honest but we'll see if they'd decrease that lead on the last and deciding quarter on this game.

That was unexpected as fans are expecting the veteran Warriors to be more precise with their defense and offense but it was the other way around. The Kings executed their play very well and I think they just outplayed the Warriors in every aspect of the game. The Warriors are known to make huge runs in 3rd quarters but the Kings just did that to them. Maybe it was a bad night for the Warriors but it was so important as they are now done for the season. Klay was zeroed while Keegan was barely missing his threes.

It's going to be very interesting as the Kings will travel to New Orleans for a chance of the 8th spot. I am rooting for the Kings to win although it will be very hard if Zion returns.

The Lakers took the 7th place, fulfilling the expectations of the majority. LeBron went 23-9-9. D-Lo's influence is undeniable. The Lakers' narrow rotation was enough for the play-in, but they don't have much chance in the play-offs.
They'll face a tough opponent, and I don't remember they win a game in the regular season against the Nuggets.
I sems like the Nuggets owned the Lakers, and Davis has been limited with the defense of Jokic.
2 bigs are going at each other, but Lebron also have a good defender which is Gordon, so this is really hard for them, I hope they will not be sweep again.

Although Zion scored 40, the Pelicans lost because Ingram and McCollum played very badly. Fortunately they have one more chance. They need to use it well against the Kings.
Zion coming back in that game is hard to expect, but regardless though, I think the Pelicans still have a chance of winning as the Kings are also undermanned. Plus it would be a shame if they still lose again at home, that would be 3 losses at their home court.

Klay's future has been concluded, he will not be a warriors anymore as he was scoreless in the most important game of the team.
Curry was also locked down, they did a great job on him so it's not surprising that the Warriors loss.

Congrats Kings, may they get a win vs the Pelicans.

I think the Kings have a real shot at beating the Thunder, but I believe they still have to get through the Pelicans first.
They have a good chance against the Pelicans as Zion was injured, and most likely will not play the last do or die game of the season.
Against the OKC, I think that's a different story, I mean the OKC are healthy while the Kings are missing Huerter and Monk.

Russell starting strong for the Lakers while Zion carrying the Pelicans right now. It's not a good start for Lebron and AD but Ingram and McCollum are also struggling. It seems both teams understand that it's going to be a battle of attrition and the real battle starts at the second half. It's going to be a problem if Zion gassed out in the later part of the game.

Zion is definitely trying to do something special today but it doesn’t look good as far as the rest of the team actually winning the game. The Lakers look dominant out there. Zion is going to have to find some help if they’re going to make this a game down the stretch. Looks like he might end up with 40 and a loss.

Edit: Zion getting help now! They just went on a 9-0 run and got within 2. The Lakers better start guarding the other guys…

Edit 2: LeBron looking tired… Falling asleep on defense and settling for bad 3 point shots early in the clock on offense… LA needs to burn some timeouts!

Edit 3: Glad to see they just took back to back timeouts. Game is tied now though…

Edit 4: A couple questionable calls in the last 2 minutes and Zion going down with an injury in the last minute saved the Lakers who looked like they were about to lose. I hope Zion is OK.

The end of the 4th quarter was exciting, and even though the Lakers were able to win, I would say that they just got lucky this time. If Zion had played the remaining 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the outcome of this game would have probably been different because the Lakers were unable to stop him throughout the game.

Big news this morning but not unexpected. Woj is reporting that Blake Griffin (via his IG) has retired from the NBA. Blake never found success after leaving the Los Angeles Clippers but that’s somewhat to be expected given his athletic play style. Dunking over everyone is definitely a young man’s game. Those early days on the Clippers were something else though…
Sad news indeed. I have a neighbor here who likes Blake Griffin and is a big fan of his. If I break this news to him he will probably be devastated. Well, his dunks will never be forgotten especially that time when he jumped over a car. Still, I don't see him as an effective player without a good point guard being paired with him.

New Orleans Pelicans versus LA Lakers live now.
It's getting hot. 2 technical fouls were already given to two players. Jose Alvarado and D'Angelo Russell. The vibes of the playoffs are already happening and we can see the defense also getting sticky. Cheesy We might see more action later and then in the next game too the Warriors versus the Kings. These teams ain't going to mess around anymore in a do or die situation.

Yeah, it's probably time for his to retire, Lob City was one of the best teams to watch with him, CP3 and DeAndre Jordan, who I think is still playing. But when Blake got injured, it's just a matter of time before he lose his athleticism.


I will go with the Lakers over Pelican, -1.5, at 2.06 odds. I think the Lakers can cover the handicap, as Lebron and AD are healthy enough to counter the youth of Pelicans. Plus their starting five as one of the solid fives this season as they literally can score 100+ points or more with Reaves, D'Lo and Hachimura.

I got the Pelicans here.  So much money on the Lakers here I can see the Pelicans donating this game or at minimum winning.  They are a great home team amd they have a inside out formula that can beat the Lakers.  I just hate betting with the masses.  I still can't figure out tonight's game but I'm leaning golden state. And gonna take the over on steph pts whatever it is.  Dude is gonna shoot 35 shots tonight.

Kings vs. Warriors
This one will be a close matchup. Looking back at the last three games of these teams, the only lead of the winning team is a point, and their season head-to-head matchup is tied, with Warriors winning the first two games and Kings winning the last two. The Kings will be missing the service of Malik Monk and, on the other hand, Gary Payton III for the Warriors. Kings having the home advantage is an edge for them. This is really a close call, but I can see the Kings winning this one because this is just a one-game knockout, but if it is a series, I can see the Warriors winning.
I thought that the Warriors has the winning percentage against the Kings this season, maybe I was till thinking of last year when the Warriors schooled the young and inexperienced Kings in the playoff. But still, the betting public see that the Warriors are going to win, it could be a very close match up again as their previous games as just separated by 1 point. However, with this kind of magnitude, Curry and those veterans are going to give the Kings a great fight. And they have some young players that can inject their youth like Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis. So I will also tend to lend on the Warriors here.
