Tonight the Sacramento Kings (24-18) make their way over to the Bay Area to play the struggling Golden State Warriors (19-22). The Kings are favored by 1.5 points for tonight’s matchup as the Golden State Warriors find themselves tenth in the league offensively, but the real kicker is that they are 22nd in the league on defense, allowing 118 points per game. The Kings have a 37.1% three-point shooting percentage this year. On average, they have hit 15 three-pointers per game (the third-best in the league).

It will be interesting to see these two California-based franchises square off tonight. Coverage of the game is about to start, at 10:00 p.m. ET. It will broadcast live on local channels tonight, but if you’re looking for a live stream of the game online, look no further than the information below.
