The final game of the 2023 NBA Playoffs’ first round takes place today, with the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors going at it in Game 7.
Some have picked the winner of this series already, including former player Jalen Rose.
Jalen Rose revealed that there’s one team he would never bet against. That would be the Golden State Warriors.

Even with their terrible away record this season, Rose thinks that the Warriors can pull off the win.
They already won Game 5 at Golden1 Center, dominating the Kings in a statement win.
The Kings responded in the same way in Game 6, but now it’s time to see who wants it more.
The Los Angeles Lakers wait for them in the second round, and they’ll be watching this game very closely.
These two teams have fluid offenses and can score at any level.
However, experience could play a role in this game, and the Warriors have a lot of that.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson last played a Game 7 in 2018, but this Kings team is inexperienced compared to their rivals.
Things could go in the Dubs’ favor if the pressure gets heavy for the Kings.
Mike Brown has done a terrific job in Sacramento and a win today would be great.
However, the Warriors have been here before.
This is the only Game 7 we got in the first round and it will surely be one to watch.
