The New York Knicks (41-24) are on the second night of a back-to-back as they stay in Los Angeles to take on the Clippers (31-32). This is the second and final matchup of the season between the Clippers and Knicks. New York won the first meeting, 123-111.

New York lost to the Lakers on Sunday (110-97) as they fall to 1-2 over the last three games. The Knicks are 6-4 since the All-Star break and 4-2 in road games during that span. New York is 6-5 on the ML and ATS when playing on no rest this season.

Los Angeles is starting a five-game home stand with the Knicks as they finish up a 4-1 record over the last five games. With a win, the Clippers will be .500, which they haven't been all season. With a rest advantage, the Clippers have lost 10 out of 15 games this season, so being more rested than their opponent hasn't led to wins.

The Clippers are ninth in the Western Conference and 1.0 game back from the Warriors and 1.0 ahead of the Trail Blazers. The Knicks are third and 1.5 games ahead of the Cavaliers and 2.5 behind the Celtics for the second spot.
