The Hornets are coming off a surprise 120-113 victory against reigning champions Golden State Warriors.
Many might label their win as a fluke, butit was a great defensive performance by the Hornets defense. The Warriors had a horrendous shooting night from beyond the arc and from the free throw line. The Warriors, comprising arguably the two greatest shooters ever in Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, shot only 29.5% from the three, which contributed to their defeat.
Take nothing away from the Hornets, though, as they were incredible on defense. They dominated the paint, scoring 54 points to the Warriors’ 48. They also outplayed the Warriors (15-11) in offensive boards. PJ Washington had a great game, scoring 31 and getting seven boards and shot 56.5%.
The Kings, meanwhile, have struggled this season, winning only once in five games. That win came in their last game, against the Heat. The Kings will hope to kickstart their campaign with another win.

De’Aaron Fox has been their biggest contributor this season, averaging 28-7-6 and has looked like one of the best guards in the country.
With big men such as Domantas Sabonis and Harrison Barnes around him, he has navigated to all parts of the court and scored points consistently. Moreover,his off-ball movement has helped set up spot-up shooters like Kevin Huerter. The former Hawks guard Huerter shone against the Heat, scoring 27 points and making seven of his eight attempted threes.

Charlotte Hornets vs Sacramento Kings Final Prediction
The Kings will be ecstatic following their win against the Heat. They found out a way to get the best out of their cavalry around Sabonis and Fox, which enabled Kevin Huerter to get clear looks from the three.
It's unlikely they will find the same success here, but the Hornets did beat the Warriors against all odds, even though their overall performance was sloppy. The Kings should win this one, but it will be incredibly close, possibly going to OT.
Sacramento Kings: -1.5 (-112)
