The New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings square off on TNT Thursday in a matchup between two of the league’s most pleasant surprises this season.
To play the “if someone had fallen asleep on Opening Night” game, imagine telling that person it’s March 9th and the Kings were the two seed in the West and the Knicks were the the five seed in the East–they’d be surprised to say the least!
The two teams also play very opposing brands of basketball. The Kings play with a top-10 Pace and have a historically good offense, especially in the clutch. The Knicks, on the other hand, have the fourth-slowest Pace but pair that with an elite offense of their own (fifth in Offensive Rating).
We’re approaching the part of the season where styles making fights becomes the most interesting factor in the game because teams are locked in for their stretch run. The Kings have a fully clear injury report, while Jalen Brunson is the swing factor for the Knicks as he remains questionable as of writing on Thursday morning.
