They have lost three of their previous away games and will look to end their road slide in Sacramento. Stephen Curry has been in fine form for the Warriors, with the guard averaging 26.3 points in his last three appearances. He will be expected to lead the scoring once again as Golden State looks to improve on its 1-3 away record this season. However, the team could be without a few key players for the contest. Jimmy Butler (back) and Al Horford (toe) are listed as questionable on the injury report, while De'Anthony Melton is out with a knee injury. On the other hand, the Sacramento Kings will need to start building consistency. The team has played most of its games away from home, reflecting a 1-4 record and has recorded a win and a loss in its two games at the Golden 1 Center. With five consecutive home games ahead, the Kings will be eager to “light the beam” more often, and a win against their California rivals would be the perfect way to start. However, the team could be without Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis for the matchup as their availability is set to be a game-time decision. Additionally, Keegan Murray will continue to feature on the injury report as he remains out with a thumb injury.
