Kings Host Warriors on Sunday
The Sacramento Kings play host to the Golden State Warriors at Golden 1 Center on Sunday.

The Warriors (2-0) have been one of the most impressive teams in the opening week, grabbing wins over both Los Angeles teams. Those are two tough teams to deal with, and it looks even better when you see that both were narrow wins. Grabbing some late-game victories is a great way to build some momentum for the remainder of the season, and it's scary they're doing this damage without Klay Thompson (Achilles). The star of the show has clearly been Stephen Curry, dropping a triple-double in the opener and following it up with a 45-point gem in the next game. He played at an MVP level last season, and he'll surely be in the discussion again this year if he keeps playing like this.

The Kings (1-1) have had mixed results in their first two games, but they've been extremely competitive in both. They were two formidable opponents too, grabbing a win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the opener and narrowly losing to the Utah Jazz in their most recent game. What's really been a pleasant surprise is the play of Harrison Barnes, averaging 30.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in the first two games. That's one of the best two-game stretches of his career, and it's nice to see him playing so well with De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton struggling. Those two guards will inevitably get going, and Kings fans finally have a team to look forward to in quite some time.

Golden State won two of their three meetings with the Kings last season, which followed up a season sweep by the Kings in the year prior. With that said, the Dubs have won 23 of their last 30 games over the Kings in total.
