It’s Saturday, February 1, and the Los Angeles Lakers (27-19) and the New York Knicks (32-16) are all set to square off from Madison Square Garden in New York.
Both these teams enter the game playing well. The Knicks are playing quite possibly their best basketball of the season having won four in a row at home and five straight overall to pull within 1.5 games of the Celtics in the Atlantic Division. The Lakers blasted Washington on Thursday night for their fifth win in their last six games. They are tied atop the Pacific Division with the Clippers. The Lakers are currently 11-13 on the road with a point differential of 0, while the Knicks are 17-8 at home.
