Through 3 Quarters

Down 15 at the end of last quarter, the New York Knicks have now snagged the lead. It's anybody's game after three quarters, but New York is ahead of the Sacramento Kings 92-87.

The Knicks have been led by power forward Julius Randle, who so far has 30 points in addition to six rebounds. Sacramento has been relying on point guard De'Aaron Fox, who has 22 points and six assists along with six boards, and power forward Domantas Sabonis, who has dropped a double-double on 15 points and 13 rebounds in addition to five assists. This makes it eight consecutive games in which Sabonis has had at least ten rebounds.

Sacramento has lost 88% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Sacramento Kings will be returning home after a five-game road trip. They will take on the New York Knicks at 10:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Golden 1 Center. The Kings are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 115.09 points per contest.

Sacramento was just a bucket short of a win this past Saturday and fell 114-113 to the Dallas Mavericks. Sacramento was up 65-51 at the end of the half but couldn't hold on to the lead. One thing holding Sacramento back was the mediocre play of small forward Justin Holiday, who did not have his best game: he played for 29 minutes but put up just nine points on 4-for-12 shooting.

Meanwhile, everything went New York's way against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday as they made off with a 116-93 victory. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 59-40. New York's point guard Immanuel Quickley was one of the most active players for the squad, posting a double-double on 21 points and ten rebounds in addition to six assists.

Sacramento is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

The Kings found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 116-96 punch to the gut against the Knicks in the teams' previous meeting in January. Maybe Sacramento will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
