Sacramento Kings vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction: Atlanta will not be able to count on Trae Young

Prediction for the NBA Sacramento Kings vs Atlanta Hawks match which will take place on January 23rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Kings have a bad stretch, but the Californian team also had a problematic calendar. Sacramento lost three times to representatives of the Eastern Conference playoffs - Philadelphia (93:112), Milwaukee (142:143 (128:128 in overtime)) and Indiana (121:126), as well as failed to cope with Phoenix - 117:119.

As you can see from the latest results, Mike Brown's team can still not establish a game in defense. The offense often compensates for the defensive shortcomings, but Sacramento has slipped to eighth place in the West.

The Hawks are in a situation similar to Sacramento's. Quin Snyder's team is even more unbalanced on offense. The current tenth place in the East with a negative 18:24 record reflects Atlanta's current strength.

The Hawks played their last game at home against Cleveland and had won three in a row before that. Atlanta failed to extend their winning streak - 95:116. 

Sacramento is in bad shape, but Atlanta will not be able to count on Trae Young in the upcoming game, so the Hawks' chances of success here are minimal. We bet on Sacramento, and we also like the three points. Young's absence will reduce Atlanta's efficiency from the arc, but the Hawks still have plenty of players who can consistently hit from beyond the arc.
