Visiting Madison Square Garden is always an exciting thing for road teams, and the drama only escalates when it is LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the other side of the court. It is clear how important playing in MSG is as both James and Davis rested on Monday in preparation for Tuesday’s game. The Knicks have struggled at home this season, but with Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, there is star power on their side of the court as well.

While this is the second game in a row for the Lakers after they were taken out by the Nets in Brooklyn on Monday, there is not much cause for concern. Russell Westbrook did have a solid game in which he finished two assists shy of a triple-double (17 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds), but with Lebron James and Anthony Davis resting in anticipation for Tuesday’s game, the Lakers certainly were lacking in firepower.
The Knicks and the Lakers both have something in common as New York’s last game was also a loss to Brooklyn. It was a disappointing night for the Knicks as they struggled to keep up with the Nets. That was especially the case on defense, more specifically against Kyrie Irving in the fourth quarter. With a rested James, he should be excited at tonight’s prospect and help our Lakers vs. Knicks NBA predictions come to fruition.
It has been a rough season for the Knicks at home this season, as they have been better on the road than at Madison Square Garden where they are 12-13. James and Davis will be hard to stop for a Knicks team that has been struggling defensively without Mitchell Robinson, and the Lakers should be able to score at will in the paint.
The expectation is that New York will be motivated to atone for Saturday’s loss and that Randle, Jalen Brunson, and RJ Barrett will be ready to go offensively. This is a game that will likely go down to the wire, so getting points with the Lakers and their two superstars seems to be the smart play. With that being said, our Lakers vs. Knicks NBA predictions focus on LA +2, as it would not be surprising to see the Lakers win outright.

FanDuel Sportsbook. Los Angeles +2 comes with -110 odds, while New York -2 is priced at the same -110 odds. That means an $11 wager on the Lakers would profit $10 as long as they don’t lose by just one point, or pull off the upset, while the same $11 bet on the Knicks would win $10 if they win by at least three points. If New York wins by exactly two points, wagers on both sides of the spread are graded as a push and all bets are refunded.
The total (over/under) is listed at 236.5 with -110 odds on both the over and under. Remember, you can place a $10 bet on any market after registering at FanDuel and receive up to $3,000 in bonus bets without even needing a promo code.
