The Hornets come into tonight’s game having lost eight in a row, matching their longest losing streak of the season. Charlotte is 1-12 in their last 13 road games and has not won a road game against a Western Conference foe since an opening night win over the Spurs in San Antonio.

Sacramento has won two straight games and has won 16 of their last 24 games after starting the season 0-4. Expect a spirited crowd for tonight’s game, as the Kings will be playing their first home contest after a six game Eastern Conference road trip.
