Los Angeles at New York

Even without Chris Paul the deep Clippers can lean on defense at #11 in the NBA in points allowed and field goal shooting defense. Clippers forward Blake Griffin recorded a triple-double with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists on Monday in a loss at Toronto. They run into a dysfunctional New York Knicks team that has lost seven of nine. New York is imploding and hit a new low with a 121-107 home loss to the Lakers on Monday, after which several players questioned the team's effort. Knicks Center Joakim Noah (hamstring) sat out Monday's game and is day-to-day. Los Angeles has taken the last eight in the series, including four straight in New York, as well as covering five of the last six encounters. Play the L.A. Clippers.
