Fox has been by far the best player for the Kings during the series and is averaging 31.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.5 steals per contest through the first four games.  

After winning Games 1 and 2 in Sacramento, the Kings lost both Games 3 and 4 in San Francisco.   

The All-Star point guard has scored 24+ points in all four games and is coming off an impressive regular season where he averaged 25.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 51.2% from the field.  

The Kings finished as the third seed in the Western Conference with a 48-34 record and are in the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2006 season. 

At home, they have been good, going 25-18 in the 43 games they have hosted in Sacramento.  

As for the Warriors, the defending NBA Champions have struggled in a big way on the road. 

They are just 11-32 in the 43 games they have played away from the Chase Center. 

Whoever wins the series will advance to the second round and face off against either the Los Angeles Lakers or Memphis Grizzlies.
