New York beat the Lakers 113-109 in overtime on Dec. 12 for its sixth win in the last seven meetings, and the Knicks come off a 117-115 win over Utah on Friday night. Tim Hardaway made six 3-pointers and finished with 31 points as the Knicks shot 49.4 percent against the Jazz. The Lakers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 99-86 win over Indiana as reserve Jordan Clarkson scored 33 points to offset a 2-of-14 free throw performance by Los Angeles. The Lakers did shoot 55 percent from the field, which means they'll cool off for this matchup as their season average is 45.4 percent. Lonzo Ball is still out, and Kendavious Caldwell-Pope and Brandon Ingram are questionable for the Lakers. New York is also 6-0 ATS its last six games against Pacific Division teams. Take the Knicks.
