This matchup is a positive one for field goals; when the Kings are playing at home, opposing clubs have shot for the highest FG% in the NBA against them this year (50.7%).The Kings have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased plays for the Warriors.As a team, the Golden State Warriors have been bad at getting to the free throw line: worst in the NBA this year, totaling a lowly 20.2 free throws per game.This matchup may be a strong one for getting to the free throw line; when the Kings have the home court advantage, opposing squads have attempted a colossal 26.4 free throws per game over the last 5 games (2nd-most in the league).Andrew Wiggins will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
