Game Preview
New York Knicks aren’t in a good situation. Why? Towns are out, and they have five straight games on the road ahead. Furthermore, they start the tour following a home loss, which was against the Golden State Warriors, 114-102.
Previously, the Knicks had three straight triumphs, two of them on the road: 116-112 OT vs. Miami Heat and 114-113 vs. Memphis Grizzlies. Overall, New York has the No.5 scoring offense in the NBA, with 117.4 points per game.
The Lakers are looking great with Luka and LeBron, and it’s no wonder this team has posted six wins in a row. Believe it or not, LAL is the second seed in the West right now.
Playing at crypto.com Arena suits the Lakers well, with them having a 23-7 record. They are 8-2 in the last 10 contests, looking darn good and very diverse on the offensive side of the ball.
