Kings taking over New York – Basketball Betting

December 18th, 2023 Live NBA Betting Lines

Basketball betting odds on Friday have the New York Knicks favored at home against the Sacramento Kings. The Knicks are not favored that often and they haven’t done very well recently when laying points. Gamblers who bet on basketball will probably still lean to the Knicks in this game simply for the fact that Sacramento isn’t any good.

Basketball betting scheduling information tells us that the Kings are playing the final game of a four-game road trip tonight. Bet on basketball scheduling shows that the Knicks are in the first half of a back-to-back as they are at Orlando tomorrow. Basketball betting trends are somewhat mixed in this game. The Kings have won 7 of the last 10 games overall against New York but they are just 5-5 against the basketball odds. At New York, the Kings have won three of the last four games and they are 3-1 against the basketball odds. The teams met earlier this season in Sacramento and the Knicks blew away the Kings 114-90 as the bet on basketball results show.

Sacramento has been above .500 on the road this season versus the basketball betting pointspread but those numbers may slip as the season winds down. The Kings traded away John Salmons and Brad Miller and now they have very little scoring other than Kevin Martin as the basketball betting statistics tell us. The Kings are almost always getting big numbers on the basketball betting pointspread but it is always risky to take them.

New York has an offense that is ranked in the Top 5 in the league as basketball betting statistics show. The problem for the Knicks is that their defense is right near the bottom of the league as basketball betting numbers indicate. Nate Robinson has had a great year for the Knicks and leads them in scoring as basketball betting statistics show.

There is a big over basketball betting trend in this matchup as eight of the last ten games between the two teams have gone over. At New York, three of the last four games have gone over the basketball betting total.
