In the span of 10 days, the Sacramento Kings will be on national television twice.

The team announced on Monday that the Thursday, April 4th, matchup against the New York Knicks has been flexed to TNT.

Now part of the NBA on TNT’s doubleheader, the Kings and Knicks will lead into the Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Clippers. Sacramento takes over the slot previously held by the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks.

In the first meeting between the two teams, Jalen Brunson torched the Kings for 42 points as the Knicks would go on to win 98-91 in the Golden 1 Center.
