The 2023 first-round playoff series between the Warriors and Kings was one to remember, and now, we'll get to see them face off for the first time this season.
Golden State got the best of Sacramento in Game 7 last year when Stephen Curry exploded for 50 points to lead the Warriors to the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Kings will be back for revenge, with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis already starting their season with a victory over the Jazz on opening night. Veteran forward Harrison Barnes led the way with 33 points, while Sabonis recorded his first of many double-doubles to come with 22 points and 12 boards.
The Warriors fell short on opening night against the Suns. Curry will look to bounce back from a relatively poor shooting night (8-of-20 from the field) despite finishing with 27 points.
Golden State will still be without four-time All-Star Draymond Green because of a calf injury, so the Warriors will have to find another answer for Sabonis.
Will the Kings get revenge? Or will the Warriors pick up their first win of the season? The Sporting News has you covered with all the information you need to tune in below.
