Draft Kings: Take the Warriors to beat the Kings in 6 games
Peter Hernandez writes: "The Warriors’ regular season road troubles will continue to be a question mark but in a seven-game series, they only need to win one at Golden 1 Center to tilt the homecourt advantage in their favor. With a team laden with postseason experience, the Warriors should move onto the second round, though the upstart Kings will surely give them a run for their money. Golden State wins the series 4-2."

Larry Rupp writes: "This is new territory for the Kings franchise as well as many of its star players. Fox and Domantas Sabonis have combined for just 13 playoff games in their careers, so I can't trust them to live up to the bright lights quite yet, which makes backing a 4-2 series victory (+260) for Golden State a valuable option."
