Golden State Warriors when the rivals meet on Tuesday night in the California capital.
The Kings (3-0 in in-season tournament) will be attempting to sweep West Group C after earlier wins at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder and on the road over the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Sacramento must win in order to advance to the West final four. Aside from the three group winners, one wild-card team will move on, but the Kings already are assured of not getting that spot should they lose to the Warriors because the Phoenix Suns (3-1), who have completed round-robin play in West Group A, would win a tiebreaker on point differential.
Andrew Wiggins' tip-in put Golden State up by five with 59 seconds left. But De'Aaron Fox hit a free throw and Monk hit a 3-pointer following a turnover by Stephen Curry.
Draymond Green turned it over on the next possession, setting the stage for Monk's go-ahead shot. The Warriors had no timeouts left and Curry missed a 3 at the buzzer to give Sacramento its first win in three tries against Golden State this season.
Fox led the way with 29 points, with Monk and Kevin Huerter adding 21 apiece.
Sacramento answered with a 10-run, but the Warriors had their own response: Thompson made a trio of free throws with 19 seconds remaining, then Gary Payton II stole the ensuing possession, making a circus floater at the buzzer to give the Dubs a 37-29 lead.
Cory Joseph was on the court to open the quarter, as Chris Paul had gone back to the locker room. He wouldn’t return, as the Dubs would rule him out with lower left leg soreness, and his absence would be felt: without one of the great ball-controllers in league history, the Dubs eventually started to turn the ball over with frightening regularity.
As for the Kings, they are the sixth seed in the west with a 9-6 record in their first 15 games. 
They most recently defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 124-111.
