I am 8-2 in my last ten NBA Best Bets heading into Monday's Kings bet. If taking the Knicks at +5.5 makes you feel more comfortable, put 2/3 of a unit on the Knicks spread and let the rest ride on the Knicks ML.

New York is a veteran, well-coached squad capable of throwing a wrench in this series by winning two straight on the road. This season, NY was 25-17 SU on the road — bet on another Knicks win in game two of this first-round series on Tuesday in The Land.
