What to Know
The Golden State Warriors are getting right back to it as they host the Atlanta Hawks at 10 p.m. ET March 26 at Chase Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
The Dubs suffered a grim 141-119 defeat to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. The Warriors were down 106-86 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Small forward Andrew Wiggins put forth a good effort for the losing side as he posted a double-double on 26 points and ten boards.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 57-57 at halftime, but Atlanta was not quite Sacramento’s equal in the second half when they met on Wednesday. Atlanta fell in a 110-108 heartbreaker. The losing side was boosted by center Clint Capela, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and 17 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Capela has had at least 14 rebounds.
Golden State is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.
Golden State found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 104-79 punch to the gut against the Hawks when the two teams previously met in December of 2019. Maybe the Warriors will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
