Every team wants to end the New Year on a high, but for some, that just isn’t possible. The Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings have seen their 2015 come to disastrous ends, and now the hope is that they can get on an upward trend in 2016. These two will hook up at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento on Saturday, January 2 at 5 PM EST on NBATV. You may click here for NBA betting lines.

With both of these teams on a major slide at the moment, choosing a winner is not going to be an easy feat. A little bit of desperation is sure to be added into the equation here, as both teams will be trying to salvage a season that is sinking fast. You can view the national TV schedule here.
Why bet on the Phoenix Suns
Not only are the Suns (12-22) sinking like a stone right now, they look like a team in total turmoil. If reports are to be believed, coach Jeff Hornacek has lost the locker room and is operating on borrowed time. The Suns have now lost 6 straight, and will likely extend that to 7 when they face Oklahoma City before moving on to Sacramento. They are 2-8 in their last 10 games, and have only managed to pick up 4 wins on the road this season. The Suns are 14-20-0 ATS and 16-17-1 O/U so far this season. They are averaging 102.7 PPG, and are giving up 105.4 PPG.
