THE HOT CORNER

[Todd Dewey Review-Journal, 49-37-1 (overall record)]

Today's best bet: SACRAMENTO KINGS (-21/2) over Indiana Pacers

The Kings have won three straight at home while holding each opponent under 100 points and the Pacers have lost six of their last seven, allowing an average of 107.7 points per game along the way. Sacramento has been getting solid play from guards Tyreke Evans (18.8 ppg), Beno Udrih (14.2 ppg) and Sergio Rodriguez, who scored a career-high 24 points off the bench in Sunday's 112-96 rout of New Orleans.
