Season series: Kings lead 1-0 after sweeping 2-0 last season
The Hawks were tripped up 114-110 Sunday at the Portland Trail Blazers as a 4-point underdog while the Under (231) cashed. That halted a modest 2-game win streak, while Atlanta was 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 5 games. The Under was also a rarity, as the total had gone high in 11 of the past 13 outings.
The Kings won 123-115 in Atlanta on Nov. 1 as a 6-point favorite as the Over (235.5) cashed, and the Kings have won and covered 3 straight in the series. The Over in the first meeting was a rarity, as the Under is 8-1 in the past 9 in the series.
Sacramento has scored 121 or more points in 3 straight outings, winning 2 of those games outright. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row, too.

Hawks at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 122, Hawks 115
Moneyline
The Kings (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a standalone play. Sacramento has won 3 of the past 4 games outright as a favorite, but this is just a little too expensive.
PASS.
Against the spread
Instead of playing the moneyline, just roll with KINGS -4.5 (-110) laying the points. While Sacramento is 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games, it did cover in Atlanta laying 6 points back on Nov. 1.
The Kings are also 3-1 ATS against Eastern Conference teams, while the Hawks are 1-3 ATS in 4 tries against Western Conference.
Over/Under
OVER 235.5 (-110) is a good play, but it might come right down to the end.
The Over is 11-3 in 14 games this season for the Hawks, and it cashed in the first meeting back in Atlanta, too.
For the Kings, the Over has cashed in 3 straight games, while averaging 124.7 PPG while allowing 117.0 PPG in the span. Keep going high whenever the Kings are involved until further notice.
