What you need to know about the Clippers
New York is going to be without second-leading scorer Jalen Brunson, who aggravated a foot injury at Sacramento after scoring 19 points in 19 minutes. His absence is not going to help the Knicks, who are coming off consecutive losses to Charlotte and Sacramento. Los Angeles is trending in the opposite direction, having won back-to-back games against Memphis and Toronto to move into fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
Five-time All-Star Kawhi Leonard has scored at least 21 points in six straight games, including a 44-point outing against Sacramento and 34-point performance against Memphis. Six-time All-Star Paul George has scored 20-plus points in 11 of his last 13 games, posting 42 points and 11 rebounds in a double-double effort against the Grizzlies. The Clippers are 16-4 in their last 20 home games against New York, and they have a health advantage on Saturday afternoon.
What you need to know about the Knicks
Meanwhile, New York was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Thursday as it fell 122-117 to the Sacramento Kings. Point guard Immanuel Quickley had a tough game, playing for 27 minutes but putting up just three points on 1-for-11 shooting.
The Knicks will certainly miss Brunson, but they’ve been excellent against the spread on the road this season. They are 22-11 ATS away from home, and Los Angeles is just 2-5 since adding Russell Westbrook to the mix, so New York is well positioned to pull the upset, or at least keep it within the number.
