Result:
LOSS

Phil Jackson must be rolling his eyes at the play of the New York Knicks who are a woeful 5-26 on the season and have come away with all of two wins on the road so far this season. That has firmly established the Knicks as a horrid team, and so often that serves to create value on a team going forward, and we certainly have some here. The Kings' last playoff game came on May 5th of 2006, so they certainly have had struggles of their own. Since that time they are 64-82-2 ATS as a home favorite, so this has not been a good spot for them over nearly a decade. That bad result shrinks to 41% ATS when favored at home by fewer than seven. The Kings also bring a 1-9-1 ATS mark in their last 11 home games into this contest. We've got the best of the worst here, which says play on New York.
