Kings hope to snap long road losing streak in MSG vs. Knicks
Basketball Betting Lines
02/09/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wins have been hard to come by lately for the Sacramento Kings, who will try to put the brakes on a six-game losing streak Tuesday
night against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
The Kings opened a three-game eastern road trip with a 115-104 loss at Toronto
on Sunday, as Kevin Martin had 24 points and Spencer Hawes posted 14 with 11
rebounds. Donte Greene chipped in 13 points, while Tyreke Evans and Andres
Nocioni each had 11 for Sacramento, which has lost 11 in a row on the road and
fell to 3-22 as the visitor this season.
"We had a bad fourth quarter. We missed some free throws, we couldn't stop
(Chris) Bosh," Kings coach Paul Westphal said.
Bosh pounded the Kings for 36 points and 11 boards. Greene is averaging 18.7
ppg in the last three games, while Martin is posting 16.8 ppg in his last 13
outings.
Sacramento has just two wins since December 30 (2-18) and will also visit
Detroit on the current road swing.
New York has dropped two in a row and five of its last six games, including
Saturday's 113-106 loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken
Loans Arena. James scored 35 of his 47 points in the first half to stymie the
Knicks, who got a team-high 26 points from Nate Robinson.
David Lee recorded 20 points and eight rebounds, while Al Harrington netted 16
points off the bench in defeat. Lee eclipsed the 20-point mark for the 27th
time this season and seventh time in last nine games.
"My God, he didn't even come close to missing," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni
said of James. "Then they banked some in when they were missing. It was an
impressive offensive output from their whole team in the first quarter."
The Knicks are 12-15 as the host this season. Robinson, who will attempt to
become the first ever three-time Slam Dunk Champion in Dallas on February 13,
is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game with a sore groin.
Sacramento beat the Knicks, 111-97, on November 25 at ARCO Arena, as Greene
poured in 24 points and had career-highs with five assists and six blocks. The
Kings have won two straight, four of five and 10 of the last 14 meetings.
