When is the next Sacramento Kings game?
The stage is set for a Kings vs. Warriors rematch.
Sacramento will get a chance at redemption on Tuesday night when it faces Golden State in another win-or-go-home showdown. The ninth-seed Kings will look to send the tenth-seed Warriors home when the two teams meet at Golden 1 Center.
Not even one year ago, Stephen Curry’s 50-point performance eliminated Sacramento in Game 7 of the NBA Playoffs’ opening round, which also took place on the Kings’ home floor.
Sacramento and Golden State split the regular season series 2-2 this season, with both teams winning one game at home and on the road.
