The Knicks will try to get back in the win column against the Kings in Sacramento tonight. A productive night from RJ Barrett would go a long way in accomplishing that goal, and our NBA expert picks think he'll do so via the assist.
The Kings have been one of the biggest surprises of the season, but their defense is their Achilles' heel. They rank 25th in the league in defensive rating, and surrender 26.3 assists per game to opponents, which is the third-worst mark in the NBA. This is a clear indication that the Kings allow their opponents to move the ball well and score.
This is where Barrett comes in. While he enters tonight's game averaging just under three assists per game, he has notched six or more assists in each of his last two games against Sacramento. This suggests that Barrett has found a way to exploit the Kings' weak defense and rack up assists. Barrett has been playing a little better lately, and his confidence is always high. In his last five games, he has averaged 2.4 assists per game, which is right around the mark for tonight. With his recent form and previous success against the Kings, it's reasonable to expect him to continue dishing out assists tonight, especially with the way the Knicks’ offense has been rolling.has been front-and-center in that span, so Barrett should be looking his way.
Overall, the Kings' weak defense and tendency to surrender assists to opponents, combined with Barrett's recent form and success against Sacramento, make him a strong bet to distribute at least three helpers.
