The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings are set to face-off in a crucial Game 5 on Wednesday night. With the Kings winning the first two games, the Warriors answered by winning the next two. Neither team has lost at home yet, which in theory favors Sacramento; however, the Warriors have an opportunity to flip the script in Game 5.

As the lower seed, Golden State does not have home court advantage in this series, which gives Sacramento Games 5 and 7 at home. The Warriors will have to win one of these in order to win the series, which certainly gives Sacramento the advantage, especially considering how Golden State has played on the road this season. That said, this Warriors core has a strong history of road success in the playoffs, and will look to tap into that in this one.

The injury reports on both sides for this game are relatively clean, as the Warriors will only be without Andre Iguodala and Ryan Rollins. For the Kings, the notable name on the injury report is De'Aaron Fox, who is questionable with a finger injury. Despite his questionable status, Fox expects to play through his injury. The only other name on the injury report for Sacramento is Matthew Dellavedova, who is out.

As previously mentioned, this is a crucial Game 5 matchup, and one that could decide the series. The Kings do not want to return to Golden State facing elimination, while the Warriors want to head into Game 6 with a chance to close this out at home.
