Kings to win (-110) at Hornets -- WynnBET (2:01 PM CT)
Charlotte is just far too beat up for me to have confidence in them to pull out a win against a nearly-full-strength Kings team that's only down Richaun Holmes. I can see why this number is close given that Sacramento isn't the easiest team to have confidence in, either, but I'm at least willing to take the odds on this game.

Brooklyn Nets moneyline (+110) at Atlanta Hawks -- WynnBet Sportsbook, 12:30PM CT
The Hawks may have the depth advantage, but the Nets are the better team here, and with Kevin Durant coming back from resting Wednesday, I'm surprised to see the Nets listed as two-point underdogs. The Nets are 4-2-1 ATS after a loss this season, and while the Hawks are 7-4 ATS as home favorites, this is a tough spot for a team down two starters in De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic. With only a 2.0-point spread, I'm taking the Nets to win outright at plus money.
