New York at Los Angeles

The Lakers have not played well lately as they have gone 3-5 in their last eight games. The good news is those were all road games and they return home where they have been 19-6. One of the losses was to the Knicks in a game they played on the road without Kobe. So revenge will be part of the equation here. The Knicks have been just 4-11 on the road last 15 games. The Knicks, when they lose, get hammered on the road. Six of their sixteen road losses have come by 16 or more, and they have lost nine games by double digits. Overall they have lost 13 of the 16 by 8+ points. This one has a double digit Laker win written all over it.
