Slowly returning to full health, the New York Knicks continue their four-game road trip out west Saturday night with a visit to the California capital to take on the Sacramento Kings.
The Knicks kicked things off with a 105-93 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.
Jalen Brunson had 45 points and OG Anunoby – playing his second game since undergoing elbow surgery in early February – had 12 points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes.
New York has allowed 93 points or fewer in each of its last four games, while the Under has conceded in 10 of the team’s last 11 games.
The Kings continue their six-game home streak after posting double-digit wins in their last two games.
They beat the Bucks, 129-94, and followed that up with a 120-107 victory over the Lakers.
Only once this season have the Kings covered more than two games in a row.
This happened in November when Sacramento won five straight games.
Since December, the Kings are 0-6 ATS after covering in their previous two games.
New York and Sacramento haven’t met in over a year, but the home team won both games last season.
Bet on the NBA?
Since mid-January, the Knicks are 6-2 in their last eight games away from Madison Square Garden, while going 3-1 ATS in their last four occasions as a oppressed on the road.
Considering the Kings have struggled to cover in their three straight games and are coming off huge back-to-back wins over the Bucks and Lakers, they should experience another disappointment.
