Kings vs Hornets Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick

CHA Hornets -17.5(-110)

Reasoning

The Charlotte Hornets have been wrecking opponents of late. Each of the last 3 games they have been involved in they have won by 19 or more points. That includes wins over divisional rivals the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, who are both still in the chase for an automatic playoff spot. Tonight, they host a Sacramento Kings team that does not have such aspirations. They have 11 players on the injury report that includes Precious Achiuwa. The forward is close to averaging a 16-point double-double over the last 10 games but is listed as questionable to play. Without him the team with the worst road record in the Western Conference will struggle to stay competitive.

Over the last 10 games the Hornets are a top 5 in the NBA in net offensive and defensive rating. The Kings are in the bottom 10, which should tell you a lot about which way this game is likely to go. The visitors have also been 29th in the league in opponent 3-point percentage. That is not a great stat when going up against a Hornets team making 39.3% of 3-point attempts during that run. Kon Kneuppel, Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball should be able to do damage from the perimeter here. The hosts are also 5th in opponent points in the paint during that time and will be well positioned to slow down Maxime Raynaud. The Hornets will have too much firepower for the Kings to match here.

Sacramento Kings vs Charlotte Hornets prediction: Hornets -17.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to Hornets -18.5.

Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
