Los Angeles at New York

This is a 3,000-mile road trip for the banged-up Lakers, on a 2-9 SU and a 1-10 ATS skid. The Lakers are 6-22-1 against the Eastern Conference, plus 3-10-1 ATS versus a team with a winning percentage below .400. The Lakers had to play last night, a 111-97 loss at Detroit. The rested Knicks are home after a long road stretch, and New York is 5-1 ATS following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. With the Lakers on a 2-5 spread run at New York, back the rested home team. Play New York.
