With respect to shots from behind the three-point arc, the Sacramento Kings's subpar 32.6% rate of drained threes as the road team settles in as the 3rd-weakest in the NBA this year.This year when they are the visiting team, the other team's starting SFs have shot 33.3% on field goals (lowest in the league) vs. the New York Knicks, making this a challenging matchup.The New York Knicks have played at the most sluggish tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should reduce opportunities for the Sacramento Kings.The matchup vs. the Knicks may be a difficult one for getting to the free-throw line; the other team's starting SFs have attempted a measly 2.5 free throws per game over the last 15 games (9th-least in the NBA).DeMar DeRozan stands to suffer a drop-off in output for all stats as a result of being on the road in this contest.
