An interesting game should be played in New York where the local Knicks will host Sacramento Kings. It has been a subpar season for the Knicks so far as they have 13 wins and 13 losses which gives them the 8th position in the Eastern Conference. The Kings are playing better with 14 wins in 24 games sitting at the 5th position in the Western Conference. In this game, I'm taking the Knicks.

New York has been on a roll recently as they have won 3 games in a row. On the home floor, they won against Cleveland and Atlanta but on the road, they managed to beat Charlotte. During this stretch, the Knicks has the 15th-best offense in the league (112.4), the best defense (93.5) and the best net rating (18.9). In the first two games, opponents were held to 89 points or less.

Sacramento has won 4 out of the last 5 games. At the same time, 3 wins were at home. They lost to Milwaukee a few days ago but on Friday, the Kings beat Cleveland. We can say that Sacramento was lucky to win that game because the Cavaliers were without Donovan Mitchell and were leading by 8 points 5 minutes before the end of the game. If we look at the advanced stats in the last 3 games, Sacramento has the 18th-best offense (111.5), the 10th-best defense (108.8) and the 11th-best net rating.

I'm confident about New York's win because Sacramento struggles on the road as they have won just 2 times in the last 5 road games. When being a road underdog this season, the Kings have won just 2 out of 6 games. The Knicks have been a home favorite 8 times this season and they have won 5 games. New York has won just 6 out of 13 home games but 3 losses have been with 6 or fewer points.

New York is looking to continue the positive stretch. Sacramento already this season has shown that there's a big difference where the game is being played. They are not the best team away from home, this will be 3rd game in 4 days and all of these have been on the road. De'Aaron Fox is questionable and missing their leader would be a huge loss. He already missed the last game so there's a big chance he won't play tonight.

一场有趣的比赛将在纽约举行，当地的尼克斯队将主场迎战萨克拉门托国王队。到目前为止，尼克斯本赛季表现欠佳，13胜13负，在东部排名第八。国王队在24场比赛中取得了14场胜利，在西部排名第五。这场比赛，我要赢尼克斯队。

纽约队最近状态很好，他们连赢了3场比赛。在主场，他们赢了骑士和亚特兰大，但在客场，他们设法击败了夏洛特。在这段时间里，尼克斯拥有联盟第15好的进攻(112.4分)，最好的防守(93.5分)和最好的净效率(18.9分)。在前两场比赛中，对手被限制在89分或更少。

国王在过去的5场比赛中赢了4场。与此同时，3场胜利是在主场。他们几天前输给了密尔沃基，但在周五，国王队击败了克利夫兰。我们可以说国王很幸运地赢得了那场比赛，因为骑士队没有多诺万·米切尔，在比赛结束前5分钟领先8分。如果我们看看最近三场比赛的高级数据，国王的进攻(111.5分)排名第18，防守(108.8分)排名第10，净效率排名第11。

我对纽约的胜利充满信心，因为萨克拉门托在过去的5场客场比赛中只赢了2场，他们在客场很挣扎。本赛季在客场处于劣势时，国王队在6场比赛中只赢了2场。尼克斯本赛季8次成为主场热门，他们赢了5场比赛。纽约队在13场主场比赛中只赢了6场，但有3场失利是在6分或更少的情况下。

纽约有望继续保持这种积极的势头。萨克拉门托本赛季已经证明了在比赛中有很大的不同。他们在客场不是最好的球队，这将是4天内的第三场比赛，所有这些都是客场比赛。德亚伦·福克斯值得怀疑，失去他们的领袖将是一个巨大的损失。他已经错过了上一场比赛，所以他今晚很有可能不会上场。
