The New York Knicks are currently in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. And with just a half-game lead over the fifth-place Orlando Magic, New York is hoping to stack up as many wins as possible down the home stretch.

Sacramento Kings

Sacramento Kings

 

At 38-27, the Sacramento Kings are in a virtual tie with the Phoenix Suns for the sixth-best record in the conference. That said, they too are looking to create some separation to ensure they finish with one of the top six spots. 

De’Aaron Fox paces the team’s offense with 27 points and 5.6 assists per contest. Domantas Sabonis leads this squad in both rebounds (13.6) and assists (8.4). Let’s also mention that he is the team’s second-leading scorer (20.1 PPG) and he leads the NBA in triple-doubles as well with 23.

Game Predictions

The Kings opened as a whopping 7.5-point favorite. However, the line has dipped to three points for the home team (per OddShark.com). Going with the road team to cover is the smart choice here as Sacramento is 13-18 against the spread at home this season.

The over/under for this contest opened at 222.5 points. The line has dipped to 219.5 points (per Pre-Game.com). The UNDER total has prevailed seven times in the Knicks’ last eight road games. Additionally, the UNDER total is 12-4 in Sacramento’s last 16 matchups against New York.
