The Warriors go for win #31 tonight in Sacramento, in what might be their last game ever in our state capital. Thanks to last night’s big win Monta will be fairly well-rested for a back-to-back, as he was able to play less than 30 minutes against the T-wolves.

With Cousins coming on strong the Warriors bigs will need another good performance, but if they can bring similar energy to what they did last night the team should be in good shape. I think Evans is still out so that should dampen the Kings’ scoring abilities a bit, so another strong defensive performance is there for the taking.

Just like last night, this is a game against a team the Warriors should beat handily. Nothing less than a win will do — and maybe they can do it without last minute heroics for once?

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings | 7:30 PT | KNBR

Time for the back end of a home-and-home as the Warriors and Kings do it all over again in Sacramento. Here’s what to look for tonight:

  • Can Monta’s D continue to frustrate Tyreke Evans? He got props for his defense on Evans in Sunday’s game, so it will be interesting to see if Evans tries to make a statement right back tonight.
  • Jeff Adrien vs. Aaron Miles for the 15th roster spot. With Vernon Goodridge being waived yesterday, it appears it will come down to Adrien and Miles. Miles fills the greater need (a backup PG who can spell Curry for 10-15 minutes a night), but if Adrien can keep up his rebounding and continue playing tough interior defense it will be tough to let a guy like that go.
  • Will Andris Biedrins show up? So far it’s been a quiet preseason for Biedrins, though he did have 10 rebounds in the first preseason game. Not the greatest defensive matchup against the size of the Kings’ front line, but it would be nice to see him return the favor and use his quickness to get a bit more active on offense (and show some flashes of the “old” Biedrins).
