Warriors kick off long homestand vs. KingsBasketball Betting Lines01/08/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors start up a season-long seven-game homestand when they host the Sacramento Kings tonight in a battle of the bottom two teams of the Pacific Division. Golden State enters tonight's clash with an unwanted 10-24 record that is ahead of only Minnesota in the Western Conference standings. However, the Warriors have played the fewest home games in the NBA to date, having competed just 13 times at ORACLE Arena so far in 2009-10. The Warriors are 6-7 as the host this season and have won their last two home tilts, including a 103-99 decision over powerhouse Boston on December 28. Golden State then embarked on a four-game road trip and lost the first three matchups of that trek before besting the lowly Timberwolves on Wednesday. Corey Maggette compiled 28 points and nine rebounds and the Warriors staved off a Minnesota comeback attempt in the second half to come away with a 107-101 victory. "(Minnesota) came out with a lot of firepower in the second half," said Maggette. "They went on a (13-0) run where they were getting up and down the floor and getting buckets, and we weren't scoring. Luckily, we fought through and continued to play as hard as we could." Monta Ellis also made a big contribution for the Warriors, amassing 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists to help his team stop an eight-game road losing streak. Youngsters Stephen Curry and Anthony Randolph netted 16 and 15 points, respectively, in the win. Sacramento comes in having lost four in a row following Tuesday's 113-109 home setback to Phoenix. Tyreke Evans had an impressive 27 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in a losing cause, while fellow rookie Omri Casspi netted a career-best 24 points for the Kings. The Kings trailed by as many as 20 points early on but slowly chipped away at the deficit, with a 7-0 run to start the fourth quarter capped by Andres Nocioni's layup drawing Sacramento even at 88-88 with 9 1/2 minutes left. The teams were deadlocked at 103-103 with under two minutes to play, but two free throws by the Suns' Amare Stoudemire and a rainbow jumper from Steve Nash put Phoenix in front by four with 44.5 seconds left. "The only thing I know for sure is if you don't quit in this league, you will find your level," Kings coach Paul Westphal said afterward. "I think our level is a lot higher than it is now because of the heart and talent we have in that room." The Kings did defeat the Warriors by a 120-107 count in Sacramento on November 8 behind a 23-point, eight-rebound effort from Evans. These teams played two overtime contests in Oakland last season, a 143-141 thriller won by Golden State in April and a three-overtime affair in which the Kings prevailed earlier in the year.
