LiontipsCharlotte vs Sacramento. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Hornets are not in their best form now, comparing it to the start of the season. Now team's performance declined and Hornets are at the 9th spot in the standings of the Eastern Conference, but it is not a surprise - there are too many players on team's injuried list.
LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier and Ish Smith were tested positive for coronavirus, so team's results started to go down. In the most recent home game Charlotte failed to avoid defeat to Philadelphia, but hosts fought until the end and were no weaker than the opponent (106:110). James Borrego needs his key players to come back and maybe then results will improve.
Kings are looking promising once again, but it is too early to relax now, because after a string of victories team is able to go into a decline. Luke Walton's men are currently at the 10th spot in the Western Conference and are just behind Minnesota.
Sacramento are losing for three matches in a row now. They recorded two victories over Clippers and in the most recent match club beat Orlando (142:130). De'Aaron Fox put up another great performance and eventually scored 33 points.

Tip and bets
Charlotte can't record confident victories recently due to injuries to their key players. When LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier will come back results will surely improve.
Sacramento are in a great form and are looking great in head-to-head matches against the Hornets. Luke Walton's men are trying to keep their play-in spot, so they need a victory. Kings want to extend their winning streak and they should be able to do that, because their opponent is hampered by mistakes.
Our prediction - Sacramento Kings to win (Including OT)
We think that hosts won't be able to put up a high-scoring performance, because too many of their key players are injuried. Kings will try to take the lead of the game since the start, but their opponent has a good defense, so we are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 232,5 points
