Sacramento Kings vs New York Knicks: BETTING TIPS, PREDICTION & BETTING ODDS

Back-to-back wins over the Jazz and Clippers have relieved some of the pressure on the Sacramento Kings, however that doesn’t mean they can relax tonight as they head into Madison Square Garden for a date with the Knicks. This is a good revenge spot for Sacramento after getting beaten by New York 98-91 about 3 weeks ago, in a game in which they shot just 35% from the field and a pedestrian 27% from three. Shooting from distance has become a major issue ever since Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter suffered season ending injuries, without those two the Kings are forced to dig deep into their bench to find some type of production. Playing at MSG has been a tough task lately, they’ve covered just twice in the last 7 games there. The Knicks also have an edge in head-to-head meetings with 5 wins in the last 6 played.

The Knicks’ latest 3 game losing streak has all but eliminated them from battling for the 2nd seed in the East. Considering the state these Knicks are currently in, the priority over the final 7 games of the season is to avoid the play-in tournament at all cost. Miami, Indiana and Philadelphia are all lurking behind, if this losing streak continues the Knicks could ruin all the good things they’ve done in the first few months of the season. It’ll be up to Jalen Brunson to keep them afloat here, he had 42 points in the win over Sacramento earlier this season. However, in Tuesday’s loss at Miami he was limited to only 20 points on 5-for-18 shooting. The Knicks are still without OG Anunoby and Julius Randle, while Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart are both questionable to play here.

Sacramento Kings Point Spread Prediction

Kings +3 Point Spread is available at -110 odds

With revenge on their mind and a run of 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, I am leaning towards the Kings here. They’ve made 12, 20 and 15 threes over their last 3 games, finally adapting to life without their 2 bench players that they lost to injury. I’ll back Sacramento plus the extra points here.

Sacramento Kings vs New York Knicks Total Points Prediction: Under 215.5

Under 215.5 Total Points is available at -110 odds

Recent meetings between the Kings and Knicks haven’t looked pretty, especially that first game of the season between them in mid-March where both teams failed to crack the 100 point mark. New York was just held to 99 points by Miami, despite having the 6th best offensive rating in the NBA over the past 10 games played. Pace is one of the big issues this team has, they rank only 27th in the league averaging 94.8 possessions per game during that stretch. Playing at home should elevate them a bit though, but will that be enough for the over to cash? I doubt it. Both teams have been hit heavily by the injury bug and are missing over 50 points per game worth of players due to various knocks. The under has landed in 13 of the last 17 meetings, these two teams are a combined 25-48-2 on the O/U in home/road games. Sacramento has cashed on the under in 7 of 8 games, including 7 in a row vs teams from the Eastern Conference. After seeing a final score of 98-91 in the first meeting just 3 weeks ago, I am once again backing the under here.
