New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Lakers Tips:

LeBron James won’t help his team. He received a suspension for hitting a Detroit player. But his absence is unlikely to affect the Lakers’ game. The Lakers have played almost every game lately without him, so it won’t be a big shock for them.

We believe that Vogel’s team could very well take the win away from the New York Knicks. The Knicks are in as much trouble as the Lakers are. It wasn’t that long ago that Thibodeau’s men lost at home to the Orlando Magic.

Our first prediction and bet are the Lakers’  win with the odds of 2.37 with the VBet bookmaker.

Both teams have been struggling. Both the Knicks and the Lakers have had their ups and downs. With that in mind, we have our doubts that this will be an entertaining encounter. 

Our second prediction and bet are total match points under 218.5 with the odds of 1.71 with the Vbet bookmaker.
