The Golden State Warriors are certainly missing their talisman, Steph Curry. They lost their second game in a row as they were outplayed by the 76ers. They now have a .500 record with 22 wins and 22 losses and are the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
Sacramento Kings, meanwhile, won their latest game against the red-hot Hawks. Kings have been in great form with four victories in their last five games. They now have a record of 19 wins and 25 losses and are the twelfth seed in the Western Conference.

The Warriors looked toothless without Steph Curry against the 76ers. Given the talent Philly have, they had a comfortable 108-98 victory.
Despite the loss, the Warriors saw their new signing, Kelly Oubre Jr, put up a decent performance scoring 24 points.
For the next game against the Cavs, the Warriors will be missing some key players due to injuries. Apart from the long injuries to Klay Thompson and Marquese Chriss, the Warriors will also miss their talisman Steph Curry, who suffered a tailbone fracture. Forward Draymond Green is questionable as he recovers from an ankle injury.
The Warriors face a Kings team who are in some great form. If both Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. are able to step up, they can pull off a win against Sacramento.
Probable Lineup
