The Knicks have lost four in a row following a humiliating, 121-90, road loss to the Pistons two days ago. This is a buy-low spot on the Knicks, who are the healthier and better team than the Clippers. LA has finally started to play better. After being 6–21 in mid-December, the Clippers have won seven of their last eight games. They edged Golden State 103–102 this past Monday. Before defeating the Warriors, the Clippers were blown out by the Celtics, 146-115, at home this past Saturday. The Knicks' main players - Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby - are healthy. They have helped the Knicks average the fifth-most points in the NBA. The Clippers average seven fewer points per game than the Knicks and could be without James Harden. He is questionable with a shoulder injury. Take the Knicks on the moneyline.
