The Sacramento Kings head to Spectrum Center on Tuesday night for a 7:00 PM ET tip against the Charlotte Hornets, and this is one of those spots where the standings really do matter. Sacramento comes in at 19-53 and buried near the bottom of the West, while Charlotte is 37-34, sitting 10th in the East and trying to squeeze every win it can out of this homestand. The Hornets have already won the first three games of this seven-game home stretch, and they have looked sharp doing it. They beat Memphis 124-101 on Saturday after dropping 130 on Orlando and 136 on Miami earlier in the week. This is also a quick rematch. Charlotte won 117-109 in Sacramento on March

The New Jersey Devils head to American Airlines Center on Tuesday night for an 8:00 PM matchup with the Dallas Stars, and this one sets up as a tough road spot for a team still trying to stay relevant in the playoff race. New Jersey is 35-32-2 and sits 13th in the Eastern Conference, while Dallas comes in at 43-17-11 and holding second place in both the West and the Central.

ESPN+ has the broadcast, and the betting market has the Kings installed as the road favorite. There is some tension here. Los Angeles has dropped three straight and just lost 4-3 to Utah, so the form is not clean. Calgary, on the other hand, just beat Tampa

The Edmonton Oilers head to Delta Center on Tuesday night for a 9:30 PM start, trying to stop a slide at exactly the wrong time. Edmonton comes into Salt Lake City at 34-28-9 and still sitting third in the Pacific, but the margin is getting thin after back-to-back losses. Utah is in a slightly better spot at 37-28-6, holding the first wild-card position in the West and playing with a little more urgency, and maybe a little more confidence too, after winning three of its last four. This game matters on both sides. The Oilers still have enough top-end skill to beat almost anyone, but the absence of Leon Draisaitl changes the math in a real way, especially for a
