LA Lakers (39-21) versus New York Knicks (40-21) is an exciting inter-conference game on Thursday night at the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers have been on fire lately, especially after their shocking trade of Luca Doncic from Dallas Mavericks. They are riding on a seven-game winning streak, including a double against their local rivals, LA Clippers. This good form has seen them climb to second spot in the Western Conference, 11.0 games behind the Thunder.

New York Knicks are also doing well in the Eastern Conference. They are third in the standings, 11.5 games behind the in-form Cavaliers and 3.5 games behind Boston. The Knicks saw their three-game winning run end Tuesday night after suffering a 12-point defeat to the in-form Warriors. They must now bounce back to winning ways ahead of their seemingly demanding upcoming schedule. Tom Thibodeau will face the Clippers next before playing the Kings and the Trail Blazers.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs New York Knicks Prediction

The Knicks have been undoubtedly exceptional this season. However, we cannot see them winning at the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers have been one of the most solid sides at home this season, boasting a 24-7 record. They won eight of their previous 10 matches and will be eager to pull away from the Nuggets in third spot. However, LA will make a gametime decision on the availability of Luca Doncic (knee), LeBron James (foot), and Austin Reeves (calf). If the trio are fit to play, we foresee a comfortable win for the Lakers. Note that LA Lakers have covered the spread in their last seven games. Our prediction for LA Lakers vs New York Knicks: LA Lakers to cover -4.5 spread.

Prediction:

 

LA Lakers to cover -4.5 spread.
