Prediction
Boy oh boy, both games tonight on TNT are going to be absolutely electric.
The Warriors and Grizzlies get us kicked off and then we turn to this one in Sacramento.
Both of these teams have been the two biggest surprises of each conference and they go toe to toe tonight.
Dreams do come true.
The Knicks are currently 5th in the East and have surged up the conference, winning 9 of their last 10 games.
Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson have been fantastic for the Knicks and these Knicks are not your father's Knicks.
And on the other side, these are not your father's Kings either.
The Kings have leapfrogged the Grizzlies and are now currently 2nd in the West. The Kings are going to be making their first playoff appearance since 2002 and it is no surprise whatsoever.
The Kings have been one of the best teams in the NBA all season.
You read that Tweet right. The greatest offensive rating of all time.
Sacramento is scary, especially at home.
They are 20-13 in the Golden 1 Center and get a chance to grab win number 21 tonight.
Jalen Brunson is questionable again for the Knicks so I don't feel comfortable taking a side in this one without knowing for sure this news.
Regardless of the Brunson news, this should be a back and forth track meet all night long, as many of the Kings and Knicks recent games have been.
Both teams have gone over the total in 3 of their last 5 games and tonight looks like a shootout in the making once again.
Give me the over in a shootout in Cali to tuck us in.
Best Bet
Over 239.5 (-110) Bet Rivers
Player Prop of the Game
De'Aaron Fox o6.5 Assists (-115) Bet MGM
Let's cap this off with one of my favorite players in the NBA to watch and bet on, De'Aaron Fox.
Fox has been sensational this season, scoring but also facilitating. In his last 5 games, he has 7+ assists in 4 those 5.
He also has great recent success dishing against the Knicks, rocking 7+ assists in 4 of his last 5 games versus New York.
I love Fox to continue to thrive tonight, scoring, but most importantly, facilitating.
Enjoy the NBA Slate tonight!
