I really, really like this one. The number looks intimidating but allow me to talk you into it. Sacramento at home is a different beast. These guys at home have won 10 of their last 11 games and are really seeming to gel well together. Beyond that, they're a phenomenal 1st half-team at home. The only team that averages more points at home in the 1st half is the Celtics.
Sacramento in their last nine games has scored 62, 62, 64, 68, 63, 63, 64, 69, and 71 points in the 1st half. This bet has hit in nine straight and now they have a great matchup against a Charlotte team who allows the 8th most first-half points in the NBA. Last game, we saw Fox only play the 1st quarter, and with him now healthy, I expect his speed to increase the pace of this one and for both teams to have more field goal attempts.

We're paying -145 juice but with Sacramento scoring exactly 62 twice in their last two games, I would rather buy the extra point instead of playing 62.5. Although I personally think they score 65+ here, I like the better hit rate.
In their last nine home games, Sacramento is averaging 65.1 1st half points. This game has a double-digit spread in favor of the Kings in addition to a 241-game total, this screams 1st half-blowout by Sacramento as we see an offensive explosion and they light the beam yet again, let's roll!
