The Knicks are entering this game with a 44-26 record overall this season and they are 23-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Washington Wizards, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Dallas Mavericks still to be played on Tuesday night.

The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have looked good in their games this season with their 40-31 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in a play-in spot, right on the cusp of a true playoff spot too. They haven't been a good road team though with their 15-20 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 44-26 record overall which has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot. They have also looked really good on their home court with their 23-11 home record this season. The Knicks have been a much better team at home this year, but they haven't looked great lately and have been dealing with injuries to key players. They are coming off a win over the Wizards in their last one, but that isn't an impressive win against one of the worst teams in the NBA. They haven't looked great lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they could be without Brunson which is a huge blow for them. The Clippers haven't been a good road team this year, but they have been hot lately as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They have also been getting healthier lately and will be looking to bounce back since they are coming off a tight 2 point loss to the Thunder in their last one, that loss snapping a long win streak they were in. The Clippers are going to bring their best effort for a banged up Knicks team and can take advantage of them in this situation since the Knicks are also playing this game on a back-to-back. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.
