Los Angeles at New York

The Los Angeles Clippers are off to a horrendous start as they head to the Garden to take on the Knicks at an ugly 5-10. The Knicks, after letting Melo go, are trying to rebuild and enter a new era, and have opened the season at a respectable 8-7. The Knicks record is a bit deceptive as they went through a red-hot shooting stretch that saw them connect on 50% or better of their shots in six of seven games. They have since cooled off shooting just 40.8% in their last three. That's a problem because they have allowed 100+ in nine of their last 10. The Clippers defended well early, then suddenly stopped, but over their last two games they have done a much better job on the defensive end. Make the play on Los Angeles.
