Sacramento Kings vs. Atlanta Hawks Injury Report
Few injuries to report for this one. What a relief! Bojan Bogdanovic remains out with a knee injury.
Bogdanovic provides outside shooting touch, with an ability to drive into the paint. The Hawks will miss the all-around contribution from Bojan Bogdanovic.

Sacramento Kings vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are playing as well as any Kings team we have seen in recent memory. They have an excellent inside-outside game with De'Aaron Fox leading the way.
Fox has taken his game to the next level, averaging 26 points, five rebounds, and six assists per night. Domantas Sabonis has found a home in Sacramento, and his well-rounded game is an ideal fit for this version of the Sacramento Kings.
Sabonis is performing like an All-Star, averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds per game. Kevin Huerter is providing a necessary spark on the offensive end with his deep shooting range keeping a defense honest with 16 points per contest. Huerter gets an opportunity to face his former team, the Atlanta Hawks.
The Atlanta Hawks have been as up and down as any team in the NBA as they have alternated wins and losses in the last eight games. Trae Young remains the catalyst for the Atlanta Hawks, leading the team in points and assists.
Dejounte Murray has been one of the more underplayed storylines of the 2022 season, averaging 21 points per night while leading the team in steals. The Trae Young/Dejounte Murray guard combination will cause teams headaches every night. I'm going to stay in the flow and say the Hawk's tendency to alternate wins and losses continues in this one, and they are victorious at home and cover the spread.
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks -4.5 (-110) (O/U 241.5, -110)
