The Sacramento Kings and NY Knicks meet Thursday in NBA action at Madison Square Garden. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Kings vs Knicks prediction.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been in a real funk as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after routing the Clippers in a 109-95 home win on Tuesday. Domantas Sabonis led the team with 22 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists, De’Aaron Fox added 20 points with seven assists while Keegan Murray chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Kings shot just 42 percent from the field and 12 of 42 from the 3-point line as they took the narrow lead into halftime, before they dominated the third quarter by 35-19 to take a 26-point lead and put the game to bed early.

New York Knicks

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in great form as they’ve won seven of their last 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to put an end to a three-game slide after getting beaten by the Heat in a 109-99 road defeat on Tuesday. Donte DiVincenzo led the team with 31 points, Miles McBride added 24 points on nine of 16 shooting while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 20 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Knicks shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 34 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 16-point deficit, only to see the Heat go on a pivotal 10-2 run late in the fourth quarter to pull away from the Knicks in the end.

New York Knicks Team Facts

  • The Knicks have won each of their last 13 games as home favorites following a loss.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in each of the last nine games between the Kings and Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
  • Each of the Knicks’ last seven night games have gone OVER the total points line.

Sacramento Kings Team Facts

  • The Kings have lost 19 of their last 20 road games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a winning record.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in each of the Kings’ last nine games at Madison Square Garden.
  • Each of the Kings’ last seven games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Kings vs Knicks prediction

The Kings are still shorthanded with Jordan Ford and Malik Monk both out, while the Knicks are keeping eyes on Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart, who are both questionable. The Kings will be feeling much better after their impressive win over the Clippers on Tuesday thanks to a big game from Sabonis. Now they are up against one of the best defenses in the league, as the Knicks could have some players return for this matchup. You can make an argument for either side here, but the Knicks are due for a win and I think they can get it done against this Kings team.
