The Kings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The Hornets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. The over is 11-3 in Kings last 14 overall. The over is 9-3 in Hornets last 12 overall. The Kings are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Sacramento Kings are a team I’ve faded a lot over the years, and while they’re coming off a decent week, I have little interest in them unless the line is insane. The Charlotte Hornets is a young team that’s learning how to finish games and they’re winning their last five contests by an average of seven points while shooting 48.7 percent from the field. You can argue this line should be a lot steeper. I’ll gladly lay the bucket with the Hornets.
