Sacramento @ Golden State picks

The Sacramento Kings rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists). The Warriors have given up the 2nd-most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
