Hornets vs Kings prediction

Hornets vs Kings best bet: Kings +12.5 (-110)

The Sacramento Kings are one of the worst teams in the Association at 16-50. However, they’ve captured back-to-back victories against the Bulls and Pacers – the worst squad from the Eastern Conference.

Needless to say, they covered in both of those games. Even in the two losses before this short win streak, the Kings still covered spreads similar to tonight’s line, keeping things competitive against the New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns.

Most importantly, Sacramento has won three consecutive meetings with Charlotte. It’s a no-brainer to take the ATS tonight.
