Sacramento Kings v Charlotte Bobcats



31st January 03:05 GMT

Kings are playing better right now. They won against Golden State, had a solid game against Utah today and what is more important, Martin looked good for the first time since he got back from the injury and Kings as a unit looked decent as well. Kings know they can beat Charlotte. They lost to them just last week, but got back from a 25 points deficit to only 2 points and could have won the game.

Today I believe they can make that extra push. Cats don't have the big guy that can score in the paint and they play with Diaw as their PF allowing Hawes or Thompson to get extra minutes without having to pay for that on defense because of their softness. Kings rough stretch is far from over and they play Denver on the road next, hosting Spurs and Suns after that and hit the road for three games again. They really need this win and I believe will get it as well.

ACB

Fuenlabrada v Bilbao



30th January 18:30 GMT

I'm not that impressed with Bilbao's new coach. He is decent, but Brada has a new coach as well and both want to win. Bilbao still much more a home court team and will continue to struggle on the road this season, while Brada needs to get a few home wins after poor start of the season at home. Batista is back so Brada are finally healthy and I think they are the better team here today.

Pick: Brada to win 1.85 odds - 3 units play - Pinnacle
