The Sacramento Kings travel to San Francisco to face the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Sunday,

The Kings (11-14) come into this matchup winning three of their last four games but Sacramento fans would tell you that it should be four-straight. The reason for that is because the Kings narrowly lost to the New York Knicks in their most recent outing, at home nonetheless. That's in inexcusable loss to a bad basketball team and it emphasizes just how much this team is playing below expectations. Part of that surely has to do with De'Aaron Fox's injury but the good news is that he's expected back sometime within the next week or two. That would be a welcomed sight to get an All-Star caliber player like that back in the lineup and they're obviously missing his play-making ways right now.

The Warriors (5-22) own the worst record in the Western Conference right now which is truly miraculous for a club who owns the best record in the NBA over the last decade. Injuries and departures can do that to a franchise though, as both of those things have crippled this team. Many people didn't know what to expect when Kevin Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason but there was still optimism that Stephen Curry could carry this team. A broken hand to Curry in the opening weeks ended those hopes quickly though and they simply can't compete with Klay Thompson out for the year as well. It didn't end there though, with D'Angelo Russell, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney all dealing with injuries early on. The one bit of good news is that all three of those guys are back now but the hole is simply too deep to dig out of at this point and it doesn't appear that Golden State is anywhere close to landing anywhere but dead-last in the conference.

Golden State has dominated this series over recent years, sweeping the four-game season series last year.
