Los Angeles Clippers vs New York Knicks NBA Odds and Predictions: Recent form
The New York Knicks were pretty slow to start off as they failed to win the first two games. Their campaign continued to be a roller coaster ride filled with wins and losses at an equal rate. They were on a five-match losing streak in the midst of January that they finally managed to get out of with a win against Celtics. Despite winning the next two games after that, what followed next wasn’t impressive as they are currently on a 3-match losing streak. They are currently occupying the 8th spot in the points table.
Looking at the Clippers’ performance, they were up to the challenge right from the start after defeating the defending champions Lakers and last season’s surprise package Nuggets comfortably. They have so far achieved 14 victories in 19 games and would be looking to play on the front foot in the remaining games to top the Western conference. In their last game against Heat, they gave a nice beating to their opponents, to pick up yet another important win. This also meant that the team closed in on the top spot by moving to the 2nd position.
