New York Knicks Form

New York remain in Los Angeles looking to rebound from only their sixth defeat in their last 22 games.

The Knicks enjoyed their best run of the season so far between late January and early February as they rattled off eight victories in a road.

They cooled off to win just two of their next five, but since the All Star break they have found some consistency, answering a 126-111 loss to Detroit with wins over Houston, 108-106, and Chicago, 105-99,

New York then bounced back from a 109-94 loss in Cleveland by winning three straight, beating Milwaukee 127-98, San Antonio 114-89 and Toronto 111-95.

The Knicks’ run was ended by a 103-100 loss to Oklahoma City, and they then failed to build on a 142-130 demolition of Denver as they fell 110-97 to the Los Angeles Lakers.

LA Clippers Form

Los Angeles’ record since the start of February is mixed, but they do enter this game on a good run thanks to four wins in their last five games.

The Clippers began February with a 117-93 win in Phoenix, only to then lose 128-113 to Philadelphia and 124-91 to Cleveland at home.

They rebounded on the road to beat Sacramento 114-111 and Minnesota 114-96, before answering a 102-95 defeat to Houston with a 105-102 win over the Rockets.

Los Angeles returned home to beat Denver 115-114, but went cold after that as they lost 125-122 at the Los Angeles Lakers, and 111-109 to Orlando and 94-88 to Minnesota at home.

The Clippers responded with a three-game surge, beating New Orleans 137-117, Golden State 114-101 and Indiana 130-107, before bouncing back from a 116-112 defeat to San Antonio with a 123-120 success in Memphis.

Verdict

Both teams enter this matchup in decent form, but it is New York’s recent road record that stands out to us.

The Knicks have been picking up road wins for several weeks and they have not had to travel since their last away game, so we are backing the visitors to take this one.
