NBA - 807 Sacramento Kings @ 808 New Orleans Hornets
Projected Line: New Orleans by 3 points
For this game, I believe Sacramento will be competitive tonight at New Orleans. The Hornets's transition defense has been horrible all season long and Sacramento has been having impressive numbers lately with 20 fast break points per game over their last 10 games! One of the main defensive problems of New Orleans has been the lack of speed of their backcourt. Greivis Vasquez is slow footed for his position, Austin Rivers is inexperienced, Eric Gordon is far from being explosive and so, the Hornets will be exposed by the Kings's quick guards tonight. On the Hornets's last game, they got torched by Kyrie Irving and even though Sacramento has no Irving, they have a collection of quick guards that can really hurt New Orleans's defense.
Of course Sacramento's defense has been having big problems as well, but New Orleans's offense is far from the level of offense that the Kings have been facing lately. On the last game between these two teams, I took both the Hornets and the Over in MLK Day. but the circumstances were very different. That was a back to back spot for Sacramento, who had played the night before at Charlotte and then they had to travel to New Orleans to play an 1PM EST game! Of course Sacramento had a very slow start in that game and they got down by 39-64 at halftime! But in the second half, the Kings made a great comeback mostly thanks to the poor domination from DeMarcus Cousins, who had 11-17 FG, 29 points and 13 rebounds! For today's game, Sacramento is on a much better spot and so, I expect them to be very competitive in here.
