NBA Hoops Betting – New Jersey Nets at Sacramento Kings
By Eric Williams
The Sacramento Kings, (17-22 SU, 22-17 ATS, 20-15-4 O/U) will have their trio of Kevin Martin, Mike Bibby and Ron Artest together at home for the first time this season when the Kings host the New Jersey Nets, (18-22 SU, 15-24-1 ATS, 18-21-1 O/U) tonight.
The Kings come into tonight’s matchup having won two consecutive games and five of their last seven, including a 110-104 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
Sacramento has also won seven straight games at home and us one of the league’s top ATS teams.
The perplexing Nets are riding a five-game losing streak and dropped their last game on the road against the Phoenix Suns, losing 116-92 on Sunday. New Jersey has allowed at least 111 points in each of their last three losses after failing to reach the 80-point mark in their previous two losses.
Here is a look at tonight’s Key Trends, followed by my NBA Betting Free Picks:
Key Nets Trends
The Nets are 16-35-2 ATS in their last 53 games following a SU loss of more than ten points.
The Nets are 2-7 ATS in their last nine vs. Western Conference.

Key Kings Trends
The Kings are 7-0 ATS in their last seven Tuesday games.
The Kings are 9-2 ATS in their last eleven games playing on two days rest.
The Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last eight vs. Eastern Conference.

The Under is 5-1 in Nets last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
The Over is 4-1 in Nets last five vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.
The Over is 4-0-2 in Kings last six games following a S.U. win.

Analysis: The Kings have been one of the best ATS teams in the league this season despite their numerous injuries and should be able to take out a dysfunctional Nets team that is going nowhere fast.
