Saturday is the start of the first-ever playoff matchup between the NorCal foes.
One of the biggest question marks the Warriors have had coming into the playoffs was Andrew Wiggins, who missed two months because of a personal family matter. But Wiggins is set to return on Saturday and, while he’s likely to come off the bench, his return will be a welcome addition to a deep Warriors team.
Sacramento enters the playoffs for the first time in 16 years following one of the best offensive seasons in NBA history, led be De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Golden State’s answer defensively may be based around how well Kevon Looney, Donte DiVincenzo, Gary Payton II and Jonathan Kuminga can supplement the superstars.
It’s a series with two passionate and intense fanbases ready to build a true NorCal rivalry with each other. If the games on the court are as good as expected, it could be highly entertaining and a lot of fun. Follow along with our reporters Madeline Kenney, Shayna Rubin and columnist Dieter Kurtenbach and other analysts providing their thoughts about the game.
