Lakers at Knicks 1/22/20 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The World’s Most Famous Arena will play host to a Wednesday night NBA clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks. The Lakers (34-9) have won 18 of their 22 road games and sit atop the Western Conference standings. On Monday, Los Angeles allowed Boston to score at least 33 points in each quarter of an ugly 139-107 road loss.

Los Angeles C JaVale McGee tallied a team-high 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting in just 18 minutes of action. LeBron James added 15 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds for the Lakers.

The New York Knicks have dropped 15 of their first 21 home games and continue to give their fans very little reason to cheer. On Monday, New York outscored Cleveland by 16 points during the third quarter of a 106-86 road triumph. The Knicks dominated the Cavaliers with a 56-34 advantage in points scored in the paint.
