New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

Are we to the point where we can start trusting the Los Angeles Clippers? We might be. The Clippers have won 6 straight games, and they have covered 4 of their last 5 games. The Knicks are on the end of a back to back, coming off a big win over the Suns, and they're still down their best big man in Mitchell Robinson. You have to like the turn the Clippers are making. With home court and the rest edge, I'll lay the reasonable number with the Clips.
