Preview:
The 12-14 Kings travel to the 12-17 Hornets laying 4.5 points. I think the spot really favours Charlotte here and will gladly take them as home underdogs.
Sacramento have moved into playoff position in a surprisingly weak west, going 16-10 ATS this season. I think this has overvalued them in the market, especially against a Hornets side that is feisty at home.
It isn’t an ideal spot for Sacramento, with this being the first game on their East Coast trip after a cross-country flight. NBA players tend to struggle in their first game in a new time zone and I see that playing into Charlotte’s hands here.
There is also expected to be a few changes to the Sacramento rotation entering this game. De’Aaron Fox is slated to return from injury, which changes a lot of what the Kings will do offensively. While this will definitely benefit them long term, the short-term adjustment period could lead to some offensive struggles here.
Charlotte are returning home here after a relatively brutal road trip. Their home/road splits are definitely noticeable and I’d expect a more motivated effort here. Especially with the return of Marvin Williams, I also really like where they’re at from a health standpoint.
Ultimately, I think the Kings are somewhat overvalued laying this many points on the road. Charlotte definitely has a chance to win here, but the 4.5 is great insurance if they lose close.
Odds:
Tip: Sacramento Kings at $1.47
