The Hornets picked up a 120-113 victory at home over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings won their first game of the season on Saturday in a 119-113 home victory over the Miami Heat. The second and final meeting between these squads is scheduled for December 19th in a head-to-head season series they split last season. Tip-off is slated for 7:00 PM EST\/4:00 PST.<\/p>\n<h3>Hornets Buzz Struggling Warriors<\/h3>\n<p>The Charlotte Hornets survived overtime against the Golden State Warriors in an impressive 120-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. PJ Washington paced his club with 31 points on 13 for 23 from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Jalen McDaniels led the team in rebounds with a 12 point 11 rebound double-double while coming off the bench. The Hornets outscored the Warriors 13-6 in overtime to seal the victory. They won the game despite playing without their starting backcourt of Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets offense has remained high-flying with 118.5 points a game ranking them 5th in the NBA. Defense has been a different story as they rank 21st with 115.8 points allowed per game.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets have managed a .500 start despite missing some of their best talent, however it will be difficult to keep this up long-term.<\/p>\n<h3>Kings Get First Taste Of Victory<\/h3>\n<p>The Sacramento Kings got off the schneid with a surprising 119-113 victory over the Miami Heat at home on Saturday evening. Tyler Herro was what his team needed with 34 points on 13 of 22 and 5 for 8 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>Center Bam Adebayo chipped in with 23 points while Jimmy Butler led his team in rebounds with 7 hoards. The Kings built a 22 point halftime lead which afforded them the opportunity to still win despite losing both the 3rd &amp; 4th quarters.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento isn&#8217;t known for their defensive prowess as they allow the 6th most points with over 118 per game. On offense they are middle of the pack in scoring with 114.2 points a game that ranks 16th in the league. The Kings finally picked up their first win but it remains to be seen if they can build any sort of a streak.<\/p>\n<h2>Charlotte Hornets vs Sacramento Kings Prop Bet<\/h2>\n<p>The Sacramento Kings enter this contest as 3 point road favorites over the Charlotte Hornets with a total set at 231. If your playing this game, you have to be looking at overs with totals or props.<\/p>\n<p>The total is 230+ and defense isn&#8217;t a priority for either side. We are going to be focused on a talented rookie in Keegan Murray tonight. Murray has a point total set at 16.5 a total he has eclipsed in 3 of 4 games while landing on 16 exactly in the other game.<\/p>\n<p>Murray plays consistent minutes and shots, including from long distance. The 16.5 total is beyond manageable in a game where points will be given out like Halloween candy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Keegan Murray Over 16.5 Points -125<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes border-style-solid padding: 6px;\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#ffa04b;color:#2e3192\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Sportsbook<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Welcome Bonus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>States Available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Get Your Bonus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.

Tip-off is slated for 7:00 PM EST\/4:00 PST.<\/p>\n<h3>Hornets Buzz Struggling Warriors<\/h3>\n<p>The Charlotte Hornets survived overtime against the Golden State Warriors in an impressive 120-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. PJ Washington paced his club with 31 points on 13 for 23 from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Jalen McDaniels led the team in rebounds with a 12 point 11 rebound double-double while coming off the bench. The Hornets outscored the Warriors 13-6 in overtime to seal the victory. They won the game despite playing without their starting backcourt of Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets offense has remained high-flying with 118.5 points a game ranking them 5th in the NBA. Defense has been a different story as they rank 21st with 115.8 points allowed per game.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets have managed a .500 start despite missing some of their best talent, however it will be difficult to keep this up long-term.<\/p>\n<h3>Kings Get First Taste Of Victory<\/h3>\n<p>The Sacramento Kings got off the schneid with a surprising 119-113 victory over the Miami Heat at home on Saturday evening. Tyler Herro was what his team needed with 34 points on 13 of 22 and 5 for 8 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>Center Bam Adebayo chipped in with 23 points while Jimmy Butler led his team in rebounds with 7 hoards. The Kings built a 22 point halftime lead which afforded them the opportunity to still win despite losing both the 3rd &amp; 4th quarters.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento isn't known for their defensive prowess as they allow the 6th most points with over 118 per game. On offense they are middle of the pack in scoring with 114.2 points a game that ranks 16th in the league. The Kings finally picked up their first win but it remains to be seen if they can build any sort of a streak.<\/p>\n<h2>Charlotte Hornets vs Sacramento Kings Prop Bet<\/h2>\n<p>The Sacramento Kings enter this contest as 3 point road favorites over the Charlotte Hornets with a total set at 231. If your playing this game, you have to be looking at overs with totals or props.<\/p>\n<p>The total is 230+ and defense isn't a priority for either side. We are going to be focused on a talented rookie in Keegan Murray tonight. Murray has a point total set at 16.5 a total he has eclipsed in 3 of 4 games while landing on 16 exactly in the other game.<\/p>\n<p>Murray plays consistent minutes and shots, including from long distance. The 16.5 total is beyond manageable in a game where points will be given out like Halloween candy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Keegan Murray Over 16.5 Points -125<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>NBA Tip-Off Show | October 28<\/h3>\n<p>Join Joe Raineri and a rotating panel of professional handicappers for the NBA Tip-Off Show as we preview tonight's NBA card from a betting perspective.

That interest in motor sports turned into a desire to make money off the sport through fantasy contests and sports betting. Like most, he took his lumps when he first got started, but now he is one of the most respected NASCAR bettors in the industry. Andy has expanded that sports betting experience to become profitable in a number of other sports, transforming this interest from a side hobby to a major source of income.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-1848 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png\" alt=\"NBA Basketballs\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmemo.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
