Sacramento Kings vs Charlotte Hornets prediction
The Charlotte Hornets are a banged up team that’s not winning games and are 14-20 ATS despite being underdogs on a nightly basis. The Sacramento Kings played last night, but their comeback win against the Pistons is a nice shot in the arm and could be a confidence booster moving forward. The Kings have had their issues with consistency, and they’re subpar on the road, but they’re the better team here obviously and backing the Hornets in any shape or form is a tough sell. Give me the Kings and the reasonable chalk on the road.
