New York Knicks vs LA Clippers Prediction

This line makes absolutely no sense to me, as they’re on the end of a back-to-back and have had issues on the road this season. The Knicks have 15 road losses. The Clippers keep finding ways to win games and they’re 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The Clippers keep getting disrespected by oddsmakers and they keep producing. With the rest advantage and home court, it’s mind-boggling how the Clippers are underdogs. I’m not buying it, folks. Give me the free bucket.
