Sacramento is going with its young players, so the kids are playing for jobs. The Kings are well rested with two full days off. They are a big dog to a Charlotte squad that is shaky on offense at #28 in the NBA in shooting, #21 from long range, and #27 from the free throw line. Charlotte has a losing home record, off Saturday's 106-105 setback to the Miami Heat as 7-point home chalk. The Hornets are on a 4-10 spread run at home, as well as 8-18-1 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400. This is the first time all season Charlotte has been a double-digit favorite. They were 9.5 point favorites last month to Chicago and lost straight up, 119-111. The road team has won and covered each of the last four in the series, and this is a great situational spot for the big dog. Play Sacramento.
