Analysis
My selection is on New York minus the points over Sacramento at 7:40 pm et on Tuesday. We've seen a lot of big upsets in the NBA lately but the Kings haven't been a part of it in recent weeks as they've lost five straight games, going 1-4 ATS over that stretch. The Knicks have shaken off a rough stretch to deliver back-to-back wins (and covers) against Brooklyn and Philadelphia. They're as healthy as they've been all season and ahead of a difficult back-to-back situation in Toronto tomorrow, I look for them to take advantage of this matchup on Tuesday. Keep in mind, New York was caught flat-footed in an 'upset' loss in Sacramento earlier this month. The Knicks actually hoisted up 100 field goal attempts in that game but connected on only 39 of them in an abysmal shooting performance. Sacramento, on the other hand, was smothered to the tune of just 74 field goal attempts but made good on 35 and cruised to a double-digit victory. I expect a much different story to unfold at the Garden on Tuesday. Take New York (8*).
