New York Knicks News:
The Knicks are 7th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 27-24. They are 12-13 at home and 15-11 at away which is really strange considering most teams in the NBA play better at home than away. Tonight they are facing against a fully loaded Lakers and it’s going to be a difficult game however they are classed as small favorites here which means the bookmakers still give them small edge even with a under .500 record at home. The Knicks have a big 3 of themselves and so far Julius Randle is playing like an All-Star and Jalen Brunson is also doing his part which could also possibly mean that even he makes the all-star reserve team too.
Los Angeles Lakers News:
The Lakers are now sitting in the 13th spot in the Western Conference. Their record is currently at 23-28 where they are 13-12 at home and 10-16 at away. The last game against the Brooklyn Nets, their two superstars Anthony Davis and Lebron James decided to sit out due to injury management. This lead to the Lakers losing the game and with every game they play and lose, it’s becoming harder to reach the play-in spot or the playoffs. The Lakers need to start winning games from now on as there are only 30 games left of the season and it could potentially lead to a disaster if they fail to do so.

Knicks vs Lakers Prediction:
Kick-off Time: Wednesday 01.02.2023, 01:30 CET.
Prediction: Jalen Brunson Over 5.5 Assists
Odds: @ 1.72
Bookmaker: BET365
Jalen Brunson averages 6.2 assists this season. This match up for the assist line is also really great considering the Lakers don’t have the best interior defense and if Patrick Beverly does not play it makes it even better. We believe that this line should be a point higher, which means we will be taking advantage of the current given line here for 1 unit.
