De’Aaron Fox is questionable for the Kings due to a thumb sprain.

Sacramento Kings vs NY Knicks Prediction

The Sacramento Kings have played their best ball over these last two weeks, which includes wins in eight of their last 10 games. Seeing De’Aaron Fox on the injury report doesn’t scare me when you consider the Kings are 3-0 SU this season without their star point guard. The NY Knicks have been hit or miss over the last month, and that includes four losses at home in their last seven games. The Knicks could also be without Hart, who does a lot for them at both ends of the floor. Of course, check the injury report before betting. Without or without Fox, the Kings are far from pushovers. I want the points.
