The Sacramento Kings’ surprisingly strong campaign is still happening, and it looks like the team will run with this upward movement; they are not rooted deeply in third place in the Western Conference, and now they can take a second position too if they want, as they are just 0.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies who are presently having a tough time.
Sacramento’s offense has stunned this season, scoring 121.1 points per game and shooting 50.0% from the field which is a league-best. This performance has largely covered up the blind spots of their defense, which are third worst with 118.4 points allowed per game.

In recent weeks, the New York Knicks have shown a new level that is quite impressive, reaching here even after suffering one loss in their past 10 games. They defeated the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, and Miami Heat, to further secure their place in the direct playoff spots.
New York finally found a great balance between their offense and defense, with a good average of 115.5 points scored per game, emerging 8th best in the NBA in defense with an average of 112.4 points against, and stopping their opponents to 45.4% shooting from the field.
MatchPlug Prediction
Sacramento Kings have shown that they can destroy any defense in the NBA, especially when they’re playing at home, so the New York Knicks will have a difficult time controlling them in this matchup, as they already struggled against the Celtics and Heat in their recent games.
But, the weaknesses in the King’s defense are clear, even if they’re playing on their home court where they have a 20-13 record, they rarely give good performances in this area, so they will have a long night playing Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson of the Knicks who are at their best.
There is no doubt that this will be a good match, where the offenses will be looked on to take the lead from the beginning as the Kings often do at home games, and leave fans with a high score.
Final Prediction: Sacramento Kings Moneyline and Over.
