New York Knicks vs Sacramento Kings Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 14, 2026

Sacramento's 112-101 victory over New York marked a convincing 11-point win that fell well short of the evening's inflated market total. The combined 213 points landed 16.5 under the 229.5 line, validating DAGGER's pregame lean to the under.

The first half traded blows evenly, with both teams combining for 98 points across two quarters of identical output—Q1 and Q2 each brought 49 combined points. That equilibrium shattered in the third, where Sacramento and New York combined for 74 points, the game's highest-scoring quarter. The Kings pulled ahead decisively during that stretch, with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine leading the charge: DeRozan finished with 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, while LaVine added 25 points and 5 rebounds. Precious Achiuwa's 20 points and 14 rebounds provided crucial interior dominance for Sacramento. New York countered with Mikal Bridges (19 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist) and OG Anunoby (15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists), but couldn't keep pace. Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 13 points and 4 rebounds off the bench.

The fourth quarter tightened considerably, combining for just 41 points as both offenses sputtered. New York's recent form—averaging 117.7 points scored per game over its last 10—couldn't overcome Sacramento's defensive structure in the closing minutes. The Kings' closing prowess, paired with New York's sluggish defense (120.7 allowed over ten games), proved decisive in a low-total affair.
