‘Swipa’ unstoppable again?

Between the Sacramento Kings and the New York Knicks a West-East duel is on the agenda. The visitors have won the past two duels, but both victories were achieved at home and now the men of Head Coach Tom Thibodeau also travel in a weak condition. Only one of the last eight games could be won, although the victory came in the most recent game against the Clippers.

Sacramento Kings – statistics & current form

The Kings can currently rely on De’Aaron Fox in particular on the offensive end. The point guard ranks 18th in the NBA in scoring with an average of 22.5 points, but the 24-year-old has consistently surpassed this already strong output in the past five league games.

Thanks mainly to his consistency, the home side have also picked up two wins against San Antonio and OKC in the past four games. This still gives them a chance to play in the play-in tournament after the regular season.

New York Knicks – Statistics & current form

The Knicks have been a sorry sight lately. Due to the, as mentioned, very meagre yield in the last eight games, the guests are only in twelfth place in the East and the targeted tenth place for participation in the play-in tournament is already quite far away in terms of the previous win rate.

The away record also does not give much hope. New York have only won around 41 percent of their 32 away games this season. A permanent problem is also the harmless offence: Only five teams are behind the Knicks in the corresponding rating!

Sacramento Kings – New York Knicks Tip

For the showdown between the Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks, the prediction for more than 25.5 points by De’Aaron Fox on the side of the hosts is a good one. A limit that “Swipa” has not exceeded only once in the last five games.

In the last game against Dallas, the 24-year-old scored no less than 44 points! With this he set his career-high. Since his return to the court after an injury last January, Fox has also been very stable.

Averaged 28.3 points in the eleven games since his comeback! In addition, the visitors will be a little tired because they have to play back-to-back games, unlike their opponents.
