The Kings will be facing off against another sneakily good team from the Eastern Conference in the Knicks. They haven't quite reached the same level of success as Sacramento, but they've been playing pretty good basketball as of late. At the very least, this game will be an entertaining one for fans to watch.

The Kings are now poised to make it back to the playoffs for the first time in 17 seasons. They will break the old playoff drought that has haunted them for so long. For the first time in a long while, there's hope in Sacramento.
