The Kings have been very impressive this year and they can post another big win when they host the Hornets.

Best Bet

Hornets @ Kings (2:10pm)

Kings -9
Line

It is hard not to be impressed by the Kings this season. Sacramento have a 16-12 record and have covered 18 of 28 this year. They have scored 122-plus in each of their last two.

This is a huge spot for the Kings too. They have covered seven of nine at home and seven of eight against teams with a losing record. In their last 28 against sub .400 teams, they have covered 20 of those.

The Hornets have failed to cover their last four and just one of their last five against teams with a record north of .600.

Sacramento have too much offensive firepower for a very poor Charlotte team.


Next Best

Jazz @ Cavaliers (11:10am)

Under 223
Total

Former Jazz star Donovan Mitchell meets his old team for the first time since being traded to Cleveland and comes in as one of the hottest players in the NBA with 34-plus points in four of his last seven, averaging 53.5% from the field in December including 42.9% from long.

While Mitchell has been hot, so has the defence of both the Cavs. Cleveland have kept opponents to 102 or fewer in seven of their last 10 with no score of more than 112 conceded over that time.

That has seen the under hit in 13 of 16 Cavs games. The under is 9-1 in Cleveland’s last 10 at home and has hit in 8 of 10 against teams with a winning record.

The Jazz have not been nearly as efficient defensively but on the back of an offensive fade they have become a big under team. Utah have gone under the number in 4 of 5 overall and in 6 of 8 off a double digit loss.


Value Bet

Magic @ Hawks (11:10am)

Magic
Win

Orlando have quietly become one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The 10-20 Magic have won six on the trot including back-to-back wins in Boston as a double digit outsider. They also rolled the Hawks in Atlanta. They can absolutely ride that to a win against the Hawks.
