Warriors vs Kings Prediction 11 October 2026
🏀 In this NBA preseason matchup, the Golden State Warriors are set to face the Sacramento Kings. At this stage of training camp, both teams are not particularly focused on defense. Expect a fast-paced contest, which could lead to a high-scoring affair.

Golden State Warriors: results come second
Golden State are heading into the new season without focusing on results just yet. They've played three games so far, dropping two of them - including a recent 118-123 loss to Portland. In every outing, the Warriors have shown a clear intent to push the tempo and find their shooting rhythm. As always, Golden State’s game plan relies heavily on the three-point shot, and that’s not about to change this year.
It’s also worth highlighting the veteran presence on the Warriors’ roster. Sure, Stephen Curry and his supporting cast still have plenty left in the tank - physically as well as skill-wise. But no one expects them to go all out in October, especially on the defensive end. That could spell trouble against a fast-paced Sacramento side, with defensive lapses for the home team almost inevitable. Expect another high-scoring affair whenever Golden State take the floor.

Sacramento Kings: banking on a high-tempo style
Sacramento have looked frankly poor at the start of preseason. They faced the Los Angeles Lakers twice and came up short on both occasions (103-127, 110-114). The roster boasts plenty of talented players, but as usual, they lack chemistry and confidence. Still, as preseason rolls on, it’s only a matter of time before their shots start to fall.
The visitors can take advantage of their roster’s hunger for results. Many players will be eager to prove their worth to the coaching staff, which means Sacramento are likely to bring relentless energy for all 48 minutes. Yes, there are still major questions about their defense, and it’s unlikely the Kings will show significant improvement in that area. But when it comes to piling up stats with an all-out offensive approach, Sacramento certainly have what it takes.

Total Points Prediction
If we look at the last 10 games, the hosts are averaging 100.2 points overall (104.33 at home), while the visitors are putting up 90.5 points per game (92.2 on the road). It's worth noting a clear trend: Golden State have scored over 115.5 points in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings with Sacramento. Let's back Golden State’s individual total over 115.5 points at odds of 1.63.⭐ Editor’s Prediction
It’s unlikely either side will get bogged down in defensive battles here. While the hosts certainly have the potential to lock things down at the back, this experienced squad isn’t expected to push themselves too hard on their own end so early in pre-season. Their priorities are different: finding their shooting rhythm and building chemistry. Sacramento, meanwhile, will look to make things happen offensively. Our editorial team predicts a fast-paced contest that could result in a high-scoring affair. We’re backing the over 225.5 points in this matchup.
