The Kings have looked really good in their games this season with their 38-27 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the West right now. They have looked good on their home court this season with their 19-12 home record and they are also right on the cusp of dropping into the play-in spots so they have the motivation to keep winning now that they are hot. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked good in their games this season with their 39-27 record overall which has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot right now. They haven't been at their best in their road games with their 17-14 road record though. They have been starting to get hot again in their games with 2 wins in a row now, but they are still just 5-5 in their last 10 games and have been struggling to win games as they deal with injuries. The Kings have been the slightly hotter team coming into this one with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games and they also have some momentum of their own now with 2 wins in a row. The Kings have looked a lot better than the Knicks in their games lately and the Kings also have the advantage of being the healthier team while the Knicks still deal with some missing players. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.
