The Sacramento Kings have an uncanny ability to stay in games despite large deficits. That’s not seen throughout the NBA almost halfway through the season. It’s allowed for steep comebacks against the Warriors, and a near comeback cover in their last game against Denver. Expect high energy from the Kings tonight in New York with or without D’Aaron Fox. Take the Kings plus the points.

The Kings are playing nothing but bonkers games lately They have scored 123 or more in 8 of their last 10 games and Knicks have allowed opponents to go over this in three of their last 5 games. Knicks last 4 Western Conference teams are over this total. Three of the Knicks last 5 home opponents are over this total. Sabonis is in peak form, the Kings are shooting great from behind the arc and the Knicks lack of a rotation and playing starters so many minutes can be a problem in the dog days of the season, still a few weeks away from the All Star break.
