Knicks vs Kings Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Wednesday, January 14

Akash

The New York Knicks (25–14) travel west to face the struggling Sacramento Kings (10–30) at Golden 1 Center. New York enters as heavy 11.5-point favorites, with the total set at 231.5. The Knicks have dominated recent head-to-head matchups, winning the last two meetings and covering the spread both times.

Jalen Brunson continues to shine with nearly 29 points per game, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges provide strong support. Sacramento, meanwhile, has battled injuries and inconsistency, but DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine remain capable scorers. The Kings have gone just 3–7 in their last 10 games, while the Knicks have split their last 10 contests.

With New York’s offensive firepower and Sacramento’s defensive struggles, this game sets up as another high-scoring affair. Here’s our breakdown of the best bet, parlay picks, and player props for Knicks vs Kings.

Best Bet for Knicks vs Kings

Best Bet: Kings +11.5 (-110) Book: Best price at DraftKings

Our best bet for Knicks vs Kings is Kings +11.5 (-110) against the spread.

Sacramento has covered in four of its 10 games as double-digit underdogs this season. While the Knicks are strong favorites, they’ve been inconsistent ATS recently (3–7 in their last 10). With DeRozan and LaVine capable of keeping the Kings competitive, and Russell Westbrook adding playmaking, Sacramento has enough to stay within the number. New York should win outright, but the Kings’ ability to score against weaker defenses makes them a value ATS play.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Knicks vs Kings

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

  • Leg 1: Kings +11.5 alternate spread
  • Leg 2: Jalen Brunson 25+ points
  • Leg 3: Zach LaVine 15+ points
  • Combined odds: +325

This safer SGP builds around Brunson’s scoring, LaVine’s consistency, and Sacramento covering.

Longshot SGP (+1600)

  • Leg 1: Knicks ML
  • Leg 2: Karl-Anthony Towns 12+ rebounds
  • Leg 3: DeMar DeRozan 20+ points

This longshot assumes New York wins outright, Towns controls the boards, and DeRozan delivers offensively.
