Why Bet on the Los Angeles Lakers?

The Lakers remain one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. They average 109.9 points (fifth) per game on 46.1% shooting (10th). In addition, the team has a 52.5% effective field goal average (ninth) and does well from beyond the arc with a 34.8 three-point percentage (12th).

There seems to be a lack of consistency from Frank Vogel’s squad, and the issues lie on the defensive end. The Lakers allow 113.4 opponent points (28th) per game. We see a lack of urgency when defending the paint. They average 50.9 opponent points in the paint (30th).

Anthony Davis leads the Lakers in rebounds at 10.5 per game. He is responsible for helping his team reach 54.1 total rebounds (11th) per game. The forward also leads the team in points (24.6) and blocks (2.3). James completes the scoring duo with a 22.8 PPG average, while Westbrook records a team-high 8.7 assists per game.

James will miss the game after a controversial altercation with the Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart. Anthony Davis’ right thigh contusion is under observation. If he fails to suit up for the Lakers, Carmelo Anthony takes over the position, while Talen Horton-Tucker covers for James.

Why Bet on the New York Knicks?

The Knicks have seen a fair share of ups and downs in recent weeks. They lost four of their last six games, with the two games won at Madison Square Garden. This gives the squad more confidence and relieves some of the pressure as they get to perform in front of their home crowd.

Head coach Tom Thibodeau focuses on both ends of the floor. The team averages 107.3 points (16th) per game and allows 106.8 opponent points (17th) per game. But we see several focal points on the offensive end of the Knicks. The team averages 52.0% from the field (16th). They are also lethal from downtown with a 36.4 three-point percentage (fifth).

Defensively, the Knicks limit opponents to 42.0 points in the paint (fifth). This should fare well against a Lakers team that utilizes scoring in the area. Meanwhile, the team is also expected to give the Lakers a difficult time rebounding. The Knicks average 54.4 rebounds (eighth) per game and are relatively better on offensive boards.

Mitchell Robinson will miss Tuesday’s game after being placed in concussion protocol. Nerlens Noel takes over for him. Meanwhile, Derrick Rose is day-to-day with a sore right ankle.

Lakers vs. Knicks Expert Betting Prediction

We look forward to an entertaining contest between the two teams. There’s enough offensive talent for the game to exceed expectations. However, the LA Lakers seem to have better scorers and produced better results in recent weeks. They have better defenders in the paint and faster players. The Knicks can get some pace back with the help of a racing Madison Square Garden crowd. If they can limit the deficit before the second half of the game, this might just go down the wire.
