Sacramento's offseason was about cost efficiency and role players. Let's grade their moves as a bust: the offense is 29th in scoring, 23rd in shooting, 24th from 3-point land, and 28th at the free-throw line (75.8%). The Kings have lost six in a row, averaging 99.1 points. That's almost 11 points below their season-average. Fourth-leading scorer forward Keegan Murray (14.6 ppg) is out for a while after injuring an ankle on Saturday. Sacramento is on a 17-8 run UNDER the total. Golden State is 20th in points scored, but is playing well behind a defense that is eighth in points allowed (113.6 per game) and fifth in defending from beyond the arc. Play Sacramento/Golden State UNDER the total.
