NBA superstar Stephen Curry and the Warriors will battle their Northern California rival Kings in a 2024 NBA Play-In Tournament game on Tuesday.
The game is a rematch of a first-round series last year when Curry scored 50 points in a Game 7 victory in Sacramento.
The winner will advance to take on the loser of the No. 7 Pelicans vs. No. 8 Lakers for the chance to claim the No. 8 seed. The top-seeded Thunder will await the winner of that matchup in the first round of the playoffs.
The Kings and Warriors split their four games this past regular season.

Curry leads Golden State with 26.4 points over 74 regular-season games and 2,421 total minutes. Curry and Draymond Green both rested in a 123-116 victory in the regular-season finale against the struggling Jazz.
The Kings snapped an NBA-record long 16-year playoff drought last season. Sacramento was in line to finish in the top six this season before losing five of its final six games.
The Kings face an uphill battle against the Warriors without key injured players Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (left shoulder).
De'Aaron Fox leads Sacramento in points (26.6) and steals (2). Domantas Sabonis is the top rebounder (13.7) and has dished out a team-high 8.2 assists per game.
