Atlanta vs. Sacramento NBA Betting Preview: Hawks Gun for 12th Straight vs. Kings
After a promising win versus the Denver Nuggets in their season opener, the Sacramento Kings have suffered back-to-back blowout losses to quality Western teams in their next two. On Tuesday, they'll face an Atlanta Hawks team which they haven't beaten in the last 11 games.
After monster numbers in his first two games, DeMarcus Cousins scored only 8 points on 3-of-8 shooting in a 98-87 loss to the Warriors. The 23-year-old center averaged 27 PPG, 12 RPG, 2.5 SPG and 1.5 BPG in the first two games of the Kings.
Meanwhile, the Hawks came back from 21-down against the Los Angeles Lakers in their last outing but lost 105-103 after Kyle Korver’s potential game-tying 21-footer was blocked by Pau Gasol. Korver finished with 22 points on 6-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc.
