LA won the first one at MSG 128-112, on the very same day they acquired Luka Doncic from the Mavericks. The defense of the Lakers is what makes them a dangerous team right now, they’ve won 17 of 20 games, while having the NBA’s best defensive rating in the last 15 outings. Can the Knicks do anything about all this? They’ve been up and down lately, however their road record is a very encouraging 14-4 SU in the last 18 games. They’ve also covered in 7 of 10 visits to Crypto.com Arena, Karl-Anthony Towns is expected back in the line-up after missing the Warriors game the other day. What the Knicks can exploit here is the Lakers’ lack of size on the interior, their last 3 opponents have averaged 58 points per game inside the paint. Something tells me New York won’t go away easily in this one, I’m backing the Knicks to cover.

KAT returns after missing the game against Golden State. He was dearly missed, but I’m looking at him to have a big impact on Thursday’s game.

Doncic has finally settled in with his new team and has found his groove which he lost a bit due to the injury that kept him out for a month.
