Knicks
44W-31L


What’s cooking, hoop-heads? Tonight, the NBA takes a royal turn as the Sacramento Kings, fresh off their victorious clash against the Clippers, march into the lion’s den – the iconic Madison Square Garden. They’re set to face off against the New York Knicks, who are dusting off their royal blues after a little stumble against Miami. Both teams are sitting pretty with a 44W-31L record, but don’t let those numbers fool you. The Kings are hot on the heels of the Western conference leaders, just 3 games shy of the throne, while the Knicks are playing catch up in the East, 15.5 games off the pace. The bookies have set the over/under at a tantalizing 214, with the Kings at 3.5 and the Knicks at -3.5. So, who’s ready for a 7:30 PM tipoff to a night of royalty rumble? Will the Kings reign supreme or will the Knicks put up a knickerbocker-knockout? Let’s just say, it’s gonna be a slam dunk of a night where the court jesters are nowhere in sight.
