Neither of these teams is off to a great start and both are missing key pieces up front, Marvin Bagley and John Collins.
Sacramento fought pretty hard in Toronto but lost on Wednesday. I like the effort.
Atlanta has not always been there effort wise. This is such a young group and losing might be wearing on them a little.
Sacramento Kings
It was a tough break for the Kings on opening night, literally, as they lost Bagley till next month at least.
That injury is a setback but I also think they are struggling to find what they had with their new coach. I am not sure Luke Walton is actually any good as a coach.

De’Aaron Fox has the speed to get by anyone and he has really improved as a shooter. Still, I am not sure he is a good first option. He is not always efficient and sometimes unnecessarily in a hurry. Watching him against Trae should be fun though.
Without Bagley, the Kings are getting pretty much nothing inside. They do have a knack for getting long rebounds off their three-point misses though.
Buddy Hield is still showing that last season was not fluke by making more than 40% of his three but it looks like they might have targeted the wrong Bogdanovic in the offseason.
The same can be said about Dewayne Dedmon who has not given them much. He was sneaky good in Atlanta but has struggled with the Kings.
Even though there are a lot of concerns with this team right now they are the favourite on the road in this one.
Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta’s setback was losing John Collins to a 25 game suspension. He was their most consistent player and a stud on my fantasy team.

Scoring is going to be tough without him because Trae Young in not efficient and they are getting close to nothing from their lottery picks DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish. I don’t want to pin it all in them but they are often starting both to get them experience and the points are just not there, even if the defense is solid. (7th in the NBA).
With no other options, they are leaning on Jabari Parker more than they would like. He is putting up 15ppg but he has never been very shy when it comes to shooting the ball. It is that he is a black hole that is not helping any of the other players develop.
They want Kevin Huerter to develop into a big-time long-range shooter but the shots have not been falling yet. That makes him especially hard to play with the rookie and with Trae. He does not do much else well at this point. The team is very messy right now.

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
This sentence might seem odd but I love the Kings in this spot at this number. They are way more experienced and at least seem intent on trying to win.
Atlanta looks lost right now. Part of it is no Collins but also other than a 50 points night from Young, how do they turn it around. .
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Kings -1.5
It is not often you back a team with a worse record, on the road, as a favourite, but that is my recommendation here.
