Story of tonight is once again the Charlotte Hornets. They are not only missing the same group of LaMelo Ball, Ish Smith, Terry Rozier, Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels but they are also now without Nic Richards and P.J. Washington tonight as well.
Kelly Oubre, Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin and Miles Bridges will likely be the highest rostered players because their matchup against the Kings has a slate high 231 game total with just a one-point spread. The Kings are also great options tonight with the likes of De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton leading the charge with Terence Davis as a nice value option along with the potential of Tristan Thompson with Richaun Holmes being ruled out.
As for top plays, I like LeBron James, James Harden, Trae Young and Jayson Tatum.
