Sacramento suffering continues with no end in sight
The Sacramento Kings have become a destination for players who have been cast off from their teams for various reasons. The Kings have just one playoff appearance since 2006 and there does not appear a direction for things to change for the franchise in the near future. Sacramento ranks near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is surrendering 121.2 points per game. The Kings have dropped 30 of their first 36 road games and own the worst overall record in the Western Conference. On Thursday, Sacramento shot 51 percent from the field during a disappointing 121-117 road loss against Orlando.
Sacramento G Zach LaVine (19.2 ppg) was leading Sacramento in scoring before being lost for the season with a hand injury. DeMar DeRozan has missed just one game this season and ranks second on the club in scoring at 18.4 points per game. Veteran G Russell Westbrook brings the energy nightly with 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.4 rebounds for the Kings. Rookie C Maxime Raynaud (11.9 ppg) has shown plenty of promise and leads the team in rebounding (7.3 rpg).

Atlanta ready to make noise in the Eastern Conference playoffs
The Atlanta Hawks made the difficult decision to deal Trae Young to Washington at the trade deadline and they have flourished ever since. The Hawks have won 14 of their last 15 games and have surged to the top of the Southeast Division standings. Atlanta has moved up to 11th in the league in defensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is giving up 116.6 points per contest. The Hawks are five games above .500 at home and are sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Wednesday, Atlanta knocked down 18-of-52 from long range during a 130-129 overtime victory at Detroit.
First time All-Star Jalen Johnson has become the focal point of Atlanta’s offensive attack. Johnson leads the Hawks in scoring (22.8 ppg), rebounds (10.3 rpg), and assists (8.1 apg). Nickel Alexander-Walker provides plenty of three-point shooting ability and is averaging a career-high 20.4 points per game. Veteran G C.J. McCollum (18.7 ppg) still has some gas left in the tank and seems to be reinvigorated since being acquired by the Hawks.
Key Injury Report for Atlanta:
- Jock Landale (DTD) - shoulder
Sacramento vs Atlanta Pick
Sacramento vs Atlanta Spread Pick
- Pick: Atlanta Spread
Atlanta thumped Sacramento earlier this season by a 133-100 final score. The Hawks played in Boston on Friday night, but had covered ten of their 12 games this month. Atlanta is the eighth most profitable team in the NBA with a 40-33 ATS record, while Sacramento is obvious fade material at 30-44 ATS. Lay the bug number with the Hawks.
Sacramento vs Atlanta Over/Under Pick
- Pick: Under
Atlanta plays at the third fastest tempo in the league and is playing on consecutive nights. Sacramento’s struggles on the defensive end of the floor have been documented, but they also have issues scoring the ball. The Hawks are 9-14 O/U as a home favorite and could be flat with another tilt scheduled with the Celtics scheduled for Monday. Take the under.
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta Hawks win 123-101
