What to Know

Having just played yesterday, the New York Knicks will head out on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET on December 16th at Crypto.com Arena. The Clippers are favored, but seeing as the odds didn't stop the Knicks in their last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.

The Knicks scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Friday. They strolled past Phoenix with points to spare, taking the game 139-122. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 19.3% better than the opposition, as the Knicks' was.

Jalen Brunson went supernova for the Knicks, as he made all 9 shots he took from beyond the arc racking up 50 points and 9 assists. Those 50 points set a new season-high mark for him.

Meanwhile, the Clippers waltzed into their game Thursday with five straight wins but they left with six. They walked away with a 121-113 win over Golden State.

Among those leading the charge was James Harden, who shot 5-for-6 from deep and dropped a double-double on 28 points and 15 assists. He set a new season high mark in blocks with four. The team also got some help courtesy of Kawhi Leonard, who scored 27 points along with eight rebounds.

New York's victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 14-10. As for Los Angeles, their win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-10.

Saturday's matchup is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Knicks haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 12.2 turnovers per game (they're ranked fifth in turnovers per game overall). However, it's not like the Clippers struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 12.6 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Knicks and the Clippers pleased both fans and bettors in their last games by winning and covering the spread. Looking ahead, the Clippers are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 6.5 points. This contest will be their seventh straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 4-2 against the spread).
