Two teams that don't cross paths often, but both historic NBA franchises will have another duel in 2025 after not seeing each other in 2024 when the Knicks and Lakers both have positive records in New York.

Brunson is averaging 25.9 points per game this season and the Knicks had a furious close to January winning the last 5 games. Towns also contributes with a 54% shooting and an average of 24.6 points per game. The Knicks' 5-game streak came against the Hawks, Nets, Grizzlies, Kings and Nuggets, scoring more than 140 points in two of those victories.

It will be interesting to see what happens as the Lakers are also having a good run of form having won 7 of their last 10, the last W being at the expense of the struggling Wizards winning comfortably by over 30 points and a FG% of 54% and making 21 of the 22 free throws they had. With a lead of 42 points and scoring 42 points in the first quarter the Lakers had almost no resistance.

Our New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

Although 7 of the last 10 games between these teams from different coasts resulted in a Total Game, the Knicks' momentum suggests that they are unlikely to not score at least 110 points on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Also, the Lakers' accuracy even against a weak Wizards was quite high and this could result in a game that exceeds the bookies' line of 227.5 for this game. Our prediction for Lakers vs Knicks is: Over 227.5.
