In recent years, the first round of the NBA Playoffs has not been very difficult for the Golden State Warriors. The Dubs have run through just about all of their opponents. However, the Sacramento Kings could prove to be a tough out in a potential matchup.
Sacramento has been one of the most surprising teams of the season this year. Led by the rise of multiple young stars such as De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, the Kings have a 30-28 record and are fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Fox is having a much better season than his rookie campaign and Hield is averaging a career-high 20.
