The Charlotte Hornets are looking to flush Saturday night's dreadful outing as they get set to take on the Sacramento Kings. Can the Hornets get back in the win column Monday night? Our staff has submitted their picks.

It's almost time for the ball to be thrown up in the air between the Charlotte Hornets (14-41) and Sacramento Kings (28-28). A few moments ago, both teams revealed their starting lineups for tonight's game.

The Sacramento Kings will be without a key player Wednesday night when they take on the Denver Nuggets as they try to push their winning streak to five games. Starting point guard Malik Monk has been ruled out due to a right toe sprain suffered in Monday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks, a league source said..

Zach LaVine scored a season-high 42 points in his finest game with Sacramento since being acquired in a multi-team trade near the deadline, leading the Kings to a 130-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

For the first time, Kings guard Zach LaVine treated the Sacramento crowd to a dazzling array of dunks and long-distance shooting.

Since Zach LaVine's debut, the Kings have looked disjointed on offense while they try to figure out their new dynamic. Part of that is the struggles of Malik Monk. Over the seven games, he's averaged 16.4 points and 5.6 assists, but on 39.6% shooting from the field and 28.3% from three.
