NY Knicks vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Knicks are down their best player in Brunson and that’s why this line is so soft. However, the Kings are undermanned as well with no Monk or Sabonis, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Kings are also coming off a last-second loss to the Clippers which could make it tough to get off the canvas. The Knicks still have talented players capable of leading the charge in Brunson’s absence, and they beat the Kings by 23 points back in late January. The Knicks haven’t lost four straight games all season. I’ll lay the bucket with the Knicks.
