Kings vs. Knicks Prediction

The New York Knicks vs. the Sacramento Kings will duel things out from Sacramento, California, for a prime-time matchup on Thursday night. It has been a long time since we have seen the Kings play a prime-time game. It is well deserved, however, for the Kings, who are the No. 2 seed in the West at the moment.

The Kings may be the most overlooked team in the NBA. This has been the best offense in the league this season, led by former Kentucky standout De'aAron Fox and big man Domantas Sabonis was voted in as an all-star this year. The role players for the Kings have really stepped things up, and they are a big reason why the Kings have had so much success this year. Lastly, head coach Mike Brown is the coach of the year in my eyes for what he has done with this Sacramento team, who has the longest playoff drought of any franchise at the moment.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are having a great year themselves. The Knicks had their win streak snapped a couple of nights ago when they lost at home to the Hornets. New York was more than due for a loss, and they will look to rebound with a road win tonight. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle have both enjoyed outstanding seasons, which has paced this Knicks team. One thing is for sure whoever the Knicks match up with in the playoffs will have their hands full. 

I am backing the home team tonight. I love this spot for the Kings tonight in prime time. This Kings team has been overlooked all season long, and I believe that they are being overlooked once again tonight with this short line. Sacramento has been one of the best home teams in basketball, going 20-13 on their home floor this season. New York has played solid basketball away from home, going 20-12 on the road, but this is a tough spot for them tonight. The Kings match up very well, and the pace of this game will favor the Kings. Let’s stay hot on the hardwood and cash in!
