Kings vs Knicks Prediction 3/10/25 NBA Picks Today

The New York Knicks pay a visit to the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center on Monday night. Here’s a Kings vs Knicks Prediction. This article will include a Kings vs Knicks Pick.

The New York Knicks have been in poor form, as they’ve lost five of their last eight games overall. They will be hoping to arrest a three-game skid after getting beaten by the Clippers in a 105-95 road defeat on Friday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists while Josh Hart chipped in with 14 points, 20 rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Kings shot just 38 percent from the field and nine of 34 from the 3-point line as they kept the Clippers in check from the start and led by nine points in the third quarter. Before, they went cold and managed just 17 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Clippers to run away with in the end. OG Anunoby had a quiet game as he shot just four of 15 from the field to finish with 11 points, while Miles McBride shot just two of 13 for his seven points. The Knicks will meet the Trail Blazers after this game.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in pretty good shape, as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after coming up painfully short to the Clippers in a 111-110 overtime road defeat last night. DeMar DeRozan led the team in scoring with 31 points, seven rebounds, and 10 assists, Zach LaVine added 30 points on 12 of 22 shooting while Keegan Murray chipped in with 15 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Kings shot 46 percent from the field and nine of 34 from the 3-point line as they blew a seven-point lead in the final 1:40 of the fourth quarter before they got stunned by the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard who snatched the game away at the buzzer. The Kings will face the Warriors and Suns following this one.

Why the Sacramento Kings will win

• The Kings have won each of their last seven Monday games.
• The Knicks have lost four of their last six games as road favorites against Western Conference opponents.
• The Kings have covered the spread in each of their last seven games.
• The Knicks have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 games.

Why the New York Knicks will win

• The Knicks have won each of their last 12 games as road favorites against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
• The Kings have lost seven of their last eight games against Knicks teams that held a winning record.
• The Knicks have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games as road favorites against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Kings rank 29th in the league for opponent three-point percentage this season (37.4%).
• The Kings rank 2nd in the league for free throw percentage this season (80.7%).
• The Knicks rank 30th in the league for opponent three-point percentage this season (37.5%).
• The Knicks rank 1st in the league for Q2 points per game this season (30.5).

The Knicks are still shorthanded with Jalen Brunson out with an ankle sprain, while the Kings have ruled out Jae Crowder and Domantas Sabonis once again. These teams have already met once this season with the Knicks winning in a romp back on Jan. 25, but the Knicks will again be missing Brunson for this one which opens the door for the Kings. You can make an argument for either side, but the Kings are playing this one on zero days rest. So, I am slightly more comfortable going with the Knicks to get the job done behind big games from players like Towns and Hart.
