Both teams have important names listed.
The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings face off in the most important game of their seasons tonight. The Kings get a chance to redeem themselves at home for a Game 7 loss last season, and the Warriors will have a chance to stop that.
The Warriors only have one player listed on their injury report: Gary Payton II. Payton is out due to a left calf strain and will be out even if the Warriors win tonight against the Kings. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are all listed as available against the Sacramento Kings.
The Sacramento Kings have two players listed on their injury report: Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk. Kevin Huerter is out due to left shoulder surgery, and Malik Monk is out due to a right knee sprain. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabois are both listed as available against the Golden State Warriors.
Both the Warriors and Kings have their most important players available for tonight’s play-in game, but they’ll be missing key role players. The teams have split the regular season series 2-2 and have been very evenly matched, even going back to last season. One would expect the Sacramento Kings and their fans to have some extra motivation after last year’s Game 7 loss.
The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings face off at 10:00 p.m. EST tonight.
