The New York Knicks will travel to the Golden 1 Center to face the Sacramento Kings in the NBA on Monday night. The Kings (33-30) are ninth in the Western Conference, while the Knicks (40-23) are third in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.

The Sacramento Kings will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in this match after suffering a heartbreaking 111-110 defeat to the Clippers on the road last night. 

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine both surpassed the 30-point mark, while as a team, Sacramento shot 46% from the field and converted just nine of 34 attempts from range. 

The Kings are the eighth-highest-scoring team in the NBA this season (116.8) but allow 114.9 points per game on defence (19th overall).

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks are cooling at pace, having now lost five of their last eight after suffering defeat at the hands of the Clippers 105-95 on the road over the weekend. 

New York shot just 38% in that match and went ice cold in the fourth quarter, managing just 17 points, which allowed the Clippers to stretch out their advantage leading up to the buzzer. 

The Knicks are ranked seventh in the scoring charts, averaging 116.9 points per game, and allow 112.8 PPG (13th in the league).
