MATCHUP OF THE GAME

Few players have been playing as well as Carmelo Anthony recently. Anthony is putting up almost 30 points a game on 45% shooting, and he's also rebounding and passing the ball well. I personally think the Knicks are most dangerous when Anthony is playing Power Forward, as he creates an incredible mismatch opportunity. Gay did not have the best game the last time these two teams met, scoring 20 points on 22 shots, and most of that coming in the second half and overtime. Gay will have to do a much better job of containing Anthony if the Kings are to win the game.

PREDICTION

Kings 84, Knicks 124 as without Isaiah Thomas, the Kings have literally nobody they can trust to run the offense.
