New York @ Los Angeles

Current Records: New York 37-30; Los Angeles 45-22

What to Know

The New York Knicks are 1-9 against the Los Angeles Clippers since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Sunday. New York will head out on the road to face off against Los Angeles at 3:30 p.m. ET at Staples Center. The Clippers should still be feeling good after a big win, while New York will be looking to get back in the win column.

New York found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 128-105 punch to the gut against the Phoenix Suns this past Friday. Power forward Julius Randle put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 24 points and 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles made easy work of the Los Angeles Lakers this past Thursday and carried off a 118-94 victory. With Los Angeles ahead 65-42 at the half, the contest was all but over already. It was another big night for their shooting guard Paul George, who had 24 points and five assists along with seven boards.

New York is expected to lose this next one by 7.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

New York's loss took them down to 37-30 while Los Angeles' victory pulled them up to 45-22. We'll see if New York can steal the Clippers' luck or if Los Angeles records another win instead.
