Both the Warriors and Blazers have clinched the play-in and have minimal reasons to try to win these games. I expect them to try, just saying\u2026 there isn\u2019t a ton on the line here, and if they wanted to rest up some players for the games that matter, I wouldn\u2019t be shocked. The Blazers could move up from 9th to 8th, and that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n<p>Who: Sacramento Kings (21-58) vs. Golden State Warriors (36-42)<br \/>Where: Chase Center, San Francisco, CA<br \/>When: 7:00 PM PT \/ 10:00 PM ET<br \/>Watch: NBCSCA \/ League Pass<\/p>\n<p>While the Warriors\u2019 play-in position is already locked in, they do have\u00a0something to play for: chemistry. Stephen Curry just returned from a knee injury that saw him miss the entirety of February and March. He looked fantastic against the Houston Rockets in his first game back, so while he probably wants to play to shake any rust off before the play-in, he\u2019s also Steph Curry. The world knows what he can do. The Warriors have listed him as probable for tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings still need to lose these final games to remain in contention with the Utah Jazz for the 4th or 5th lottery position, so that\u2019ll be where my rooting interest lies tonight.
