The Sacramento Kings find themselves on a three-game win streak and have a chance to extend it tonight against the visiting New York Knicks.

Things sure have changed since the last time the Sacramento Kings played against the New York Knicks. The last meeting came on November 3rd, two days after Sacramento’s first win of the season following an 0-5 start. The Knicks were actually favored in that game by one point, with the teams sporting identical records and the Kings on the first game after a cross country flight.

But the Kings took it to the Knicks that came, winning by 21 points and starting a strong stretch of games for Sacramento.

One big difference tonight will be the absence of De’Aaron Fox from the Kings lineup. He led the Kings in scoring that night with 24 points and added to his career highlight reel with multiple must-see plays. But Fox will be missing his 16th straight game, and Cory Joseph will once again be responsible for manning the point.

The Knicks come into tonight’s game looking to win back-to-back contests after losing their previous 10 games. They defeated the Golden State Warriors in overtime on Wednesday and will look to improve on their league-worst win total of five.
