New York Knicks vs. Sacramento Kings prediction
I didn’t believe that the Knicks had it in them to win on Sunday night but I was wrong. New York is at a disadvantage since the Kings didn’t play yesterday but if Barrett can keep it going and Julius Randle can get it going, the Knicks should be able to win their second-consecutive game.
We all know how New York is, though. Nonetheless, my gut-feeling is telling me to go with the Knicks and that’s what I’m going to do. Tom Thibodeau, don’t mess this up.
We’re taking the Knicks -3.5 and under 231 points.
New York 116, Sacramento 112.
