The Hornets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Friday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

The Charlotte Hornets have had scoring issues during this losing stretch, which includes being held under 100 points in two of their last four games. The Sacramento Kings have put together a couple of nice wins as of late, and they’ve covered four of their last five games overall. The Kings should have a feast offensively in this contest against a Hornets defense that’s struggled out the gate. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’ll lay the bucket with the Kings at home.
