New York betting analysis

The New York Knicks (39-30, 20-14 away) have dropped three consecutive matches and their advantage in sixth place is now reduced to three games. They hope to right the ship on Sunday against the Lakers, who have climbed to ninth place thanks to their own three-game winning streak. This season, the Knicks’ version of the “Big 3” in Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett are carrying the team to a big run to the playoffs. Randle has averages of 25.2 points and 10.4 rebounds to lead the team while Brunson and Barrett are backstopping the forward with their splendid offensive statline of 23.8 points per game and 19.8 points per game, respectively.

Los Angeles betting analysis

The Los Angeles Lakers (33-34, 18-15 home) have moved inside the play-in picture due to their three-game winning streak. The Lakers’ streak is making rounds in all forms of media as they are doing this without their top cager LeBron James, who remains sidelined with a foot injury. The guard combo of D’Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroeder are putting up the fight for Los Angeles and with Anthony Davis coming back from injury, they hope to resume their winning run to close in on sixth-running Golden State Warriors. With 15 games left in their regular season schedule, the Lakers should tap into their championship mentality that has enabled them to become one of the most fabled franchises in NBA history.
