Sacramento KingsÂ
The Sacramento Kings are starting to heat up now as they are now gunning for a third straight victory after blowing past the struggling Jazz in a 113-96 road win on Tuesday. Domantas Sabonis led the team with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists on 13 of 18 shooting, DeMar DeRozan added 20 points with eight assists while De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 19 points and six assists. As a team, the Kings shot 52 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to take a nine-point lead into halftime before they played excellent defense to restrict the Jazz to just 14 points in the third quarter to put the game to bed early. The Kings will take on the Raptors after this game.
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have really been struggling lately as they are now hoping to put a halt to a three-game skid after getting routed by the lowly Wizards in a 133-120 road defeat on Wednesday. Trae Young led the team with 35 points and 15 assists on 12 of 28 shooting, Jalen Johnson added 21 points with 17 rebounds and four assists while Zaccharie Risacher and David Roddy each scored 17 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they got off to a hot start and looked to be in control when they poured in 65 points in the first half, but their problems on defense came to the surface again with the Wizards exploding for 76 points in the second half to beat them for the second time in three nights. The Hawks will play against the Pelicans following this one.

Sacramento Kings vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Kings are still slightly shorthanded with Orlando Robinson still out, while the Hawks are missing a host of players including Dyson Daniels, De’Andre Hunter, and Bogdan Bogdanovic. It’s still early in the season, but the Kings are healthy and starting to heat up with a couple of wins, while the Hawks are still banged up and are coming into this one-off back-to-back losses to the lowly Wizards. I am a little surprised that the Kings aren’t favored by more points in this one, so I am happy to lay the points against this struggling Hawks squad.
