NY Knicks vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Knicks are on the end of a back-to-back, an emotional loss to the Lakers that included overtime. The Knicks also saw Brunson limp off the court, and it would be surprising to see him play with a quick turnaround. The Clippers are rested and at home where they’ve played their best ball. Because of the rest, you should expect to see Kawhi and others. This is just a tough spot for the Knicks given the injury to their best player and playing 53 minutes last night. I’ll lay the points with the Clippers.
