Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors: Key matchups

DeMar DeRozan vs Jimmy Butler

After a bit of a down season in 2023-24, DeRozan has improved his field goal shooting and outside shooting clip. He'll have his hands full, however, with Butler, who has staked his claim as the difference maker for the Warriors. In the 13 games that Butler has suited up for the Warriors since the blockbuster trade with Miami, Golden State has gone 12-1.

Jonas Valanciunas vs Draymond Green

With Sabonis questionable for this game, Valancinuas will have to hold the fort as Sacramento's man in the middle. Though he clearly has the size advantage over Green, the heart and soul of Golden State remains a feisty presence in the shaded lane and on the perimeter.

Zach LaVine vs Steph Curry

LaVine is having one of his better seasons as an outside shooter, converting on 41.3% of his attempts from deep this season. Conversely, Curry's current outside shooting clip of 39.8% happens to be among the worst of his illustrious career.
