This is a 10* NON-CONF GOW on the UNDER Hawks/Kings.

These teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm finally anticipating more of a defensive battle.

Atlanta is 6-8 after a 114-110 loss at Portland last night. I believe fatigue will be a major factor here now in the second game of the back-to-back.

It's also a "look ahead" spot for the Hawks, with a much more high-profile game at Golden State on Wednesday.

The Kings are 8-6 and have been trading wins/losses over their last six games. They're off the 121-117 home win over Utah. Note that dating to last year though Sacramento has seen the total go UNDER in four of its last five after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

Look for a much more defensive battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
