The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have looked good in their games this season with their 44-31 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They are 2 games ahead of the play-in spots in the East and they have looked great on their home court this year with their 24-14 home record, looking to keep their playoff spot with the season nearing its end. Meanwhile, the Kings have also looked good in their games this season with their 44-31 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They are 1 game behind being in a true playoff spot and they have been a good road team this year with their 21-16 road record, but they still haven't been at their best in those games with a better home record. The Kings have some momentum with 2 wins in a row now but those wins were also on their home court and they haven't looked any better than the Knicks lately as they are both 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Knicks don't have much momentum right now with 3 losses in a row, but they will be looking to bounce back now that they are back on their home court. The Knicks are also going to be motivated to bounce back since they need to protect their playoff spot in a really tight race in the East right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.

“You have to have a belief that it will turn, which I do. Maybe it’s tomorrow, maybe it’s the day after, who knows when it is, but just keep putting everything you have into each day. So, work out, do your rehab, try to strengthen your shoulder as much as you can and go from there.” - Tom Thibodeau after his team’s loss against the Heat in their game on Tuesday.
