Atlanta Hawks vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home and with Trae Young out for the Hawks due to a concussion. I've also been fading the Hawks all year long because they're 11-31 ATS on the season, which is by far the worst in the league. However, the Sacramento Kings aren't exactly lighting the world on fire, and they've lost a few times in the big favorite role. Heck, the Kings just lost to the Pacers as 8.5 point favorites in their last game. It's the Hawks and the points or pass for me in this spot.
