New York Knicks Betting Preview
The New York Knicks have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after taking down the streaking Trail Blazers in a 123-114 road win on Sunday. Jalen Brunson led the way with 26 points and eight assists on 10 of 19 shooting, OG Anunoby added 24 points while Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 20 points with 11 rebounds and two blocks on nine of 13 shooting. As a team, the Knicks shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 46 from the 3-point line as they battled the Trail Blazers in a close contest and were trailing by three points in the fourth quarter before they closed the final 8:41 on a 29-17 run to escape with the gritty road win despite almost no support from their bench players.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings look like they might be turning things around as they were on a seven-game losing streak before they took down the Lakers in a 124-112 victory for their second straight win on Monday. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 32 points and six assists on 14 of 19 shooting, Malik Monk added 26 points with eight assists on nine of 15 shooting while Russell Westbrook tallied 22 points with five rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Kings shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field and an efficient 17 of 26 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Lakers from the tipoff to jump out in front early and behind the strength of their starters and a spark plug from Monk off the bench, the Kings built a 20-point lead despite a monster game from the Lakers’ Luka Doncic who scored 42 points.
New York v Sacramento Free Prediction
The Knicks are still missing Landry Shamet and Guerschon Yabusele, while the Kings have ruled out Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis. The Knicks haven’t been playing anywhere near their best lately, but they just beat a red-hot Trail Blazers team and they will turn things around sooner rather than later now that they have all their key players back healthy. The Kings have also been struggling during their seven-game skid before they took down the Lakers in an inspired performance on Monday, but they just haven’t had enough of those types of games this season. The line is hefty, but I think the Knicks win this one rather comfortably behind big games from Towns and Brunson.
