Kings vs. Hawks Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Kings have stormed into title contention with a winning streak, and they defeated three playoff contenders in their last four games.
Their best win came last time in court when beating Adelaide 106-101, which has seen their title odds shorten, and we’re not surprised to see them at –7.5 against the Hawks, who have been disappointing in their title defence.
Despite scoring a big win over the struggling Bullets last week, the Hawks are unlikely to replicate that performance on the road against the Kings. They don’t match up well, and Kendric Davis could have a big scoring night.
It should be a comfortable victory for the Kings, so back them to cover the –7.5 spread.

Same Game Multi
Davis could have a big scoring night, as he did when dropping 40 points against the JackJumpers. That was an incredible showing, and the $1.92 to score 25+ points on the Hawks is worth including in NBL same game multis.
We found Jaylin Galloway 2+ assists at $1.85. He had two assists in their win over the 36ers, which marked his third consecutive game with 2+ assists. He could come off the bench with a tidy performance.
Over 186.5 points goes into our multi. They scored 192 points in their previous meeting in December, which is the best form guide.

Best Value Bet
Davis will need 10 rebounds to record a double double, which won’t be easy, but he had five boards against the 36ers, and he could look to make an impact.
He’ll have no problem scoring double-digit points, so punters essentially get $2.85 for Davis to record either 10 rebounds or 10 assists.
We like those odds as a value bet, so include him in NBL picks.
