The Sacramento Kings have lost seven of their last eight overall, but they might be able to snap that losing skid on Sunday as they take on the struggling New York Knicks at the Garden. New York has a losing record at home this year, and the Knicks have dropped three of their last four. My money is on the visitors to win outright at MSG.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Kings have owned the Knicks in recent seasons, winning four of the last five meetings, and both trips to New York during that span. The Kings are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in New York.

2. DeMarcus Cousins - The Kings leading scorer went off for 31 points on 11-of-21 shooting in a losing effort against Detroit on Friday. Another big night from Cousins should be enough to get the Kings a win over an inferior Knicks team today. Boogie scored 27 points in a home win over the Knicks earlier this year, and he scored 22 points and 10 rebounds in a win at the Garden last year.

3. X-Factor - The Knicks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games, while the Kings are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five road games.

Selection: This is a play on the Sacramento Kings (10*)
