The Knicks’ style of play heavily relies on individual plays from Brunson and Towns, with almost no team-oriented offense, just simple drives and ball distribution. However, Brunson is injured. Given the Clippers’ exceptionally strong defense and help defense speed this season, it won’t be difficult for them to suppress the Knicks’ lack of offensive cohesion. The total points are expected to be under 220.5.

Pick: Total points over 220.5 (bet365)
