| NBA | (555) New York Knicks at (556) Los Angeles Clippers: Total | 10:10pm EDT - Mar 9/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 220.5 (-110)
The Knicks earned a 123-111 home win over the Clippers on January 7. LA held a five-point lead at halftime at Madison Square Garden, but New York scored 72 points in the second half to pull away with room to spare. Jalen Brunson finished with 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. The Knicks could have used a second half spark like that on Sunday after getting thrashed by the LeBron James-less Lakers. New York trailed from the opening tip and was never able to climb back into it. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves combined for 60 points and the Knicks had a miserable shooting day in Downtown LA on Sunday. New York shot 8-of-34 (23.5-percent) from three-point range and Mikal Bridges went scoreless in 27 minutes on the court. Brunson played over 42 minutes yesterday and OG Anunoby wasn't very far behind with 38 minutes. The Clippers return home after winning in Memphis on Saturday. LA is 4-2 straight-up, 5-1 against the spread over the last six games. The over is 7-2 in the Clippers' last nine games, and that is the direction we're looking in this one. Darius Garland missed the Clippers' loss in San Antonio on Friday, but he is expected to play in this one. His impact was felt in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, scoring 21 points with six assists in just 26 minutes. Over the last ten games, the Clippers are No. 7 in offensive rating, No. 5 in turnover rate, No. 9 in effective field goal shooting and No. 3 in true shooting percentage. Garland brings a different look to the Clippers' offense, and if the Knicks have any signs of tired legs on a back-to-back, it will likely show on the defensive end. We're expecting to see some points in this one.
