Atlanta Hawks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks were dreadful against the number last season, and they’re 0-5 ATS on the season. You’re buying a house next to Bill Gates, just blindly fading the Hawks these last couple of seasons. It also doesn’t help that the Hawks have a laundry list of injuries. The Sacramento Kings are coming off their two best games of the season and the defensive effort has picked up. I have no choice but to lay the points with the Kings. Keep fading the Hawks, folks.
