Can the Kings actually win a season series against the Warriors having already defeated Golden State twice at Oracle Arena?

No, of course not.

Golden State is in an excellent spot to put a much needed halt to its three-game losing streak. The Warriors aren't at full strength, but they do have Kevin Durant and Dramond Green back for sure. The Warriors should have a sense of urgency not only to avenge two surprising home losses to the Kings, but to start getting things right to defend their world title with the playoffs coming up in a couple of weeks.

It's easy to spotlight how bad the Warriors have been missing Stephen Curry, but the Kings are playing bad, too, losing five of their last six. They've been held to 98 or fewer points in five of their last seven games.

The Warriors rank third in defensive field goal percentage. They not only have the two superstars, but also a much stronger bench.
