<h2>Analysis</h2>

Nets vs. Kings Prediction ATS 11/15/22

The Kings are white hot! They've won four of their last five games and scored over 120 points in each of those wins. Brooklyn simply doesn't have the scoring punch to stay with them. The betting market is always slow to react when an average team turns into a good team, but the bookies have been tortoise slow at recognizing that the Kings aren't the same club they've been for the past ten plus years. I think Kings win and cover easily Tuesday night!
