Analyzing Monday’s Charlotte Hornets at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets are looking to flush Saturday night's dreadful outing as they get set to take on the Sacramento Kings. Can the Hornets get back in the win column Monday night? Our staff has submitted their picks.

The Sacramento Kings will face off against the Charlotte Hornets at 10 p.m. ET on Monday at Golden 1 Center. Sacramento is 28-28 overall and 14-14 at home, while Charlotte is 14-41 overall and 5-21 on the road.

The Hornets are currently 5-21 on the road with a point differential of -6, while the Kings have a 8-2 record in their last ten games at home.

Zach LaVine scored a season-high 42 points in his finest game with Sacramento since being acquired in a multi-team trade near the deadline, leading the Kings to a 130-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

Since Zach LaVine's debut, the Kings have looked disjointed on offense while they try to figure out their new dynamic. Part of that is the struggles of Malik Monk. Over the seven games, he's averaged 16.4 points and 5.6 assists, but on 39.6% shooting from the field and 28.3% from three.
