Premium Pick

Following a season-best nine-game win streak, Los Angeles has gone 5-6 over an 18-day span with little practice time to address any shortcomings. LA is on a 1-7 spread run, including 0-4 ATS at home. You may not think so, but the NY Knicks are actually improving under the new coaching staff. The Knicks are 9-4 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600, as well as 3-1-1 ATS on the road. New York is off a bad game at Portland, but the Knicks are 3-0-1 ATS after a spread loss. The Clippers are 0-4 ATS against the Eastern Conference, and when these teams meet the road team is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. In addition, the dog is 10-4 ATS when they play, plus the Knicks are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Los Angeles. Take the points on the NY Knicks.
