Why the Kings can cover

Why the Hornets can cover 

Meanwhile, the Hornets suffered their biggest defeat since 2023 on Saturday. They took a serious blow against the Trail Blazers, falling 141-88. Charlotte was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 73-40. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Hornets struggled to work together and finished the game with only 19 assists. 

Despite the defeat, the Hornets will be confident they can keep the score close on Monday. Charlotte is 4-1 against the spread in its last five games on the road against the Kings. In addition, Sacramento is just 1-6 against the spread in its last seven games overall. See which team to pick here.
