Kings vs. Hornets Game Info
Sacramento Kings (15-23, 6-11 Away) vs. Charlotte Hornets (19-18, 11-8 Home)
Date: Monday, March 15, 2021
Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Spectrum Center — Charlotte, N.C.
The Kings have been terrible this season, winning just three games since Feb. 7. While their offense is respectable, their defense is by far the worst in the NBA, with a league-worst 116.9 defensive efficiency. De’Aaron Fox has been more aggressive offensively lately. He has led the Kings in scoring in each of the past three games, averaging 31.3 points. Fox will be tasked with competing against a talented backcourt for the Hornets.
The story for the Hornets this season is clearly rookie LaMelo Ball, who has been nothing short of fantastic. He has averaged 15.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists. Charlotte has won four of their past five games, looking like they finally found their groove. It has also been impressive that they have had three different leading scorers in the four wins, as they prove to be a balanced attack.

Kings vs. Hornets Prediction
The Hornets matchup will with the Kings defensively, so they should be able to slow their offense down at least a little bit. A little bit is all they should need, as the Kings don’t know how to slow anything down. With this in mind, I’m going with the home team.
Prediction: Hornets -3.5
