Clippers vs. Knicks Trends and Prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers are:
- 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss
- 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a losing straight up record
- 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 road games against a team with a home winning percentage below .400
- 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400
- 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against a team with a losing home record
The New York Knicks are:
- 7-20 ATS in their last 27 games when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game
- 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games against a Pacific Division opponents
- 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games against a team with a winning road record
These two teams met on March 3 and the Clippers beat the Knicks 128-107 despite turning the ball over 16 times. This game will come down to rebounding and 3-point shooting, the Clippers were lucky to escape Cleveland with a win after a 6-for-26 performance from beyond the arc and they have to dominate the paint in New York.
The Clippers made 19 of 35 3-pointers in the game in Los Angeles and a similar effort and taking better care of the ball will lead to another comfortable win against a Knicks team that doesn’t have enough firepower to keep up with them.
Pick: Clippers -10
