The Cavaliers are healthy and dangerous. The Warriors found that out the hard way when they lost to Cleveland, 118-110, as 4 1/2-point home favorites two days ago. Now the Cavaliers take on a much worse Sacramento team that is unlikely to have its key player, DeAaron Fox.
Fox has missed the last five games with a right ankle sprain. He's listed as doubtful. The Kings are 2-3 in those games, which include two blowout losses to the Rockets. One of the victories was at home in overtime against the 3-6 Trail Blazers.
If you discount the victory against Portland in which they were a 7 1/2-point favorite, the Kings are averaging 98 points in their last four games. They rank 28th in the league in field goal percentage.
The Cavaliers have Donovan Mitchell, who is averaging 29.5 points, Caris LeVert, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. That's a much better core than the Kings especially if Fox remains out.
Cleveland is averaging 117.2 points in its last four games. The Cavaliers have scored at least 116 points in each of those four contests.
