The New York Knicks are 17-7 ATS as home favorites of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Los Angeles has dropped four of its last five games, including a 111-89 blowout loss to the Miami Heat as 3.5-point road underdogs Friday night, while going OVER the total for the third time in four contests.\u00a0 \u201cThe Clippers have been great,\u201d commented Knicks coach Mike Woodson.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019ve had their struggles as of late because they\u2019ve had injuries.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s certainly been the case, especially with star point guard Chris Paul, who has missed 12 games this year.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS after a loss by 10 points or more, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA picks against the spread Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Clippers are 15-12 overall when playing away from the Staples Center, including a 5-6 mark versus Eastern Conference opponents.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 2-4 on its current Grammy road trip, while it has compiled a dreadful 31-64 mark in this situation dating back to 2000.\u00a0 After reaching 100 points or more 24 times in the first 35 games, the squad has hit or gone over the century mark just four times in its last 17 contests.<\/p>\n

New York is playing some of its best basketball of the 2012-13 campaign, as it has captured six wins in its last seven games, including a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves as six-point road favorites last time out.\u00a0 \u201cIt was one of those games we didn\u2019t want to look back on saying we should have won this game,\u201d stated Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony.\u00a0 Dating back to his days with the Nuggets, Anthony\u2019s teams have won 10 straight at home against the Clippers.\u00a0 New York is 17-7 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are 19-6 at Madison Square Garden this season, including an 8-2 mark versus Western Conference foes, which makes them worthy of a long look on the pro basketball odds page.\u00a0 New York\u2019s 30-15 record is its best start after 45 games since the 1996-97 season.\u00a0 Defensively, the squad wants to limit opponents to under 100 points, as it has compiled a 25-5 record when accomplishing that task.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Knicks due to their 36-15 ATS run at home, while the Clippers are 1-6 ATS versus non-conference foes.<\/p>\n
