Betting on the Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings continue to show their face in the Pacific Division and their postseason dream seems to be closer than it was before. Although they were not among the favorites at the beginning of the campaign, the California team is doing important things, and it is one of the teams with the fewest lost games in the Western Conference.
The Kings achieved consecutive wins over the Indiana Pacers, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Chicago Bulls, but again found themselves on the losing end in a midweek loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, against the Cleveland Cavaliers they achieved an important victory by a score of 106-95.
Betting on the New York Knicks
Despite the inconsistency that the New York Knicks have shown so far in the 2022-23 NBA season, they have a chance to reach the postseason since they haven’t done too bad at all. It has been difficult for them to win, but the victories they have achieved have come at crucial moments, avoiding negative streaks.
So far, only in October, they managed to get three consecutive wins, against Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets, and they have not been able to match that. They now have three consecutive wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Charlotte Hornets.
JefeBet Prediction
The Kings and the Knicks have performed similarly so far, but the Sacramento Kings have managed to place themselves among the top five teams in their conference and that could give them a little more confidence ahead of this matchup. However, the team from the Big Apple, who seems to have found the formula for victory, are the ones with the motivation at its peak.
Prediction: New York Knicks win by 4 points.
