Across their last 11 games, the Knicks have only featured one scoreline that landed above 226 (that being the 125-109 win vs the Heat last Saturday). Since the beginning of January, and coinciding with the acquisition of OJ Anunoby from the Raptors, New York is 15-2 "under" into tonight, a trend that has continued even as Anunoby has missed the past few games with injury (he possibly returns tonight). Note that the December 18 meeting at Crypto.com also landed "under" in a 114-109 Knicks win. Play Lakers-Knicks "Under"

The Lakers played their customary one good game of the week on Thursday at Boston, even as that win might be worth an extra star with LeBron and AD both absent. King James likely resurfaces tonight at MSG while Davis remains iffy, but this is the latest example of the oddsmakers undervaluing the current state of the Knicks, who have kept on winning this week even minus Julius Randle and OJ Anunoby (possible to return tonight), with Jalen Brunson on another tear after his 40-point masterpiece on Thursday vs. the pacers. Since the start of January, the Knicks are 15-2 outright (nine wins ina row) and 14-3 vs. the line! Play Knicks
