The New York Knicks have been playing better of late having won two games in a row over the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.
The Sacramento Kings have lost three of their last four games, but are hoping to right the ship in Madison Square Garden.
Projected Starting Lineups
New York Knicks (12-46)
G Langston Galloway – 11.5 ppg, 4.8 apg
G Tim Hardaway, Jr. – 11.4 ppg, 2.2 rpg
F Cleanthony Early – 4.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg
F Lou Amundson – 7.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg
C Andrea Bargnani– 11.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg
Sacramento Kings (20-37)
G Ray McCollum –5.3 ppg, 1.8 apg
G Ben McLemore – 11.9 ppg, 2.9 rpg
F Rudy Gay – 20.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg
F Jason Thompson – 5.7 ppg, 6.4 rpg
C DeMarcus Cousins – 23.7 ppg, 12.2 rpg
What to watch for:
How will DeMarcus Cousins play?
DeMarcus Cousins is listed as probable for tonight's game as he tries to recover from his ankle injury, and if he's close to 100 percent, he totally changes the complexion of this game. He's the only guy on either team's active roster than can totally take over the game, and the Knicks don't have anyone who can guard him. If Cousins can have a big game, the Kings will win easily.
Prediction: Kings win 97-90
New York has been playing better lately, but having Cousins back in the lineup should give Sacramento the boost they need to win.
