The Hornets (37-34, 17-17 Home) will try to move about .500 at home this season when they host the Sacramento Kings (19-53, 6-28 Away) Tuesday night at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST, and fans can catch the action on ESPN+.
The last month has been a fairly good one for the Hornets. Since February 22, Charlotte has gone 11-3. The Hornets last played on Saturday, beating the Memphis Grizzlies at home, 124-101, for their third consecutive win and fifth in six games. Charlotte has averaged 130 points per game over the last three and allowed an average of 106 (vs. Miami, Orlando, and Memphis).
As for the Kings, Sacramento has been having a rough season, made harder by a long list of injuries. Nique Clifford and Russell Westbrook have already been ruled out, and Killian Hayes, Daeqwon Plowden, and Precious Achiuwa are listed as GTD. Playing on the road has been tough this season for Sacramento. It will certainly not be any easier tonight against a red-hot Charlotte Hornets team.
This will be the second of two games between these teams this season. Charlotte won the first matchup, 117-109 at home.
Charlotte will win this game. The talent gap is wide, and the Hornets' offense is clicking too well in recent games to have issues against a poor team like the Kings. However, 17-points is a massive spread. Part of me thinks they’ll cover, but another part is unsure. But both teams like to play fast and loose on offense while playing lackluster defense. So, both should see plenty of shot opportunities. Against a poor defense, that should translate to a lot of points. Charlotte has averaged 130 in its last three games; Sacramento has scored 100+ in its last 14 games.
