The Warriors are tied and now the elders have to stay up and play a Game 7 on the road. Game 6 was the game for the Warriors and The Kings beat them all game eventually winning 118-99. The Kings outworked them in every aspect and now they get the Warriors in Sacramento for Game 7. The Kings had a 53-42 rebounding edge in Game 6. The Warriors went 13-30 ATS on the road this season. This is why the regular season still matters, Warriors because you get a Game 7 in the first round on the road. Kings to cover.
The Kings scored 118 points in Game 6 despite Domantas Sabonis fouling out in just 23 minutes. The Warriors only scored 99 points while shooting 37.2 percent from the field. Don’t expect them to be that cold again in this crucial Game 7. Two of the three games in this series that were played in Sacramento went over this total, and the Kings averaged 123.0 points per game at home during the regular season. I expect plenty of points to be scored in this matchup, as well.

This has been a fantastic series and it will fittingly culminate in a game seven tonight in Sacramento. Draymond Green is certainly a polarizing figure in the NBA, however even his biggest detractors can not dispute that he has routinely stepped up in big moments throughout his career. Case in point, Draymond has appeared in 10 career elimination games in the postseason and has eclipsed this line in all 10 appearances. He has never logged fewer than 37 minutes while averaging 14.9 PPG, 12.2 RPG, and 6.5 APG, good for a combined 33.6 PRA. Whether Steve Kerr decides to bring Draymond off the bench or he decides to insert him back into the starting lineup, I expect Draymond to play 35 minutes, close the game, and be aggressive while stuffing the stat sheet in the process.
It's a Game 7. Which team gets the calls? Normally the home team ... unless a superstar/dynastic team is the opponent as it the case with Steph Curry and Golden State. The Kings franchise is well aware of that officiating unwritten rule from the 2002 West Finals vs. the LA Lakers. The Dubs were clearly the better team in their last trip to Sacramento. As for what happened back in San Francisco in Game 6, I have no idea. Since 2015, the Warriors are 25-9 following a playoff loss. The Kings are 2-5 ATS in their past seven at home.
