In a Saturday night full of games, where a total of nine will be played, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks will face each other in a high tension duel between two teams that aspire, in their respective Conferences, to big things in the playoffs. The game will feature Jalen Brunson, De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis as the main stars.

The Knicks will be in charge of playing the visitors in a duel to which they arrive after winning their last two games. The Big Apple franchise is in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 39-27 record. However, Orlando Magic is not letting off the gas, and is right on their heels with a 38-27 record. The fight for home-court advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs is fierce between the two teams.

The Kings, meanwhile, have their own goal in the Western Conference, and it remains to get out of the playoffs. Right now, Sacramento occupies the last position that gives direct access to the playoffs. The California franchise is 6th with a 38-27 record, followed closely by the Phoenix Suns who, 7th at 39-28, have won six of their last 10 games.
