The Lakers hold the all-time record having bested the Knicks 166 of their 286 matches.
New York Knicks
The Knicks have had their issues on the road with a 6-16 record. The current road trip which covers seven cities is the longest the Knicks have faced in years. So far they’ve been ahead of the trend winning two of three (Nets/Jazz).
The return of Tim Hardaway Jr. is likely helping those efforts as the youngster lead the way with a team high 31 points in the win over the Jazz. Hardaway missed 20 consecutive games, but has played in four of the past five.

After weathering a storm of injuries all season the Knicks enter this game with a full complement of healthy players.
LA Lakers
The Lakers win over Indy was anything but pretty. In the match Jordan Clarkson led the way scoring 33 points including 3 treys and 2 free throws. The latter holding a distinction because those were the only free throw mad by the entire Lakers team.
After losing nine straight games head coach Luke Walton implored his young squad to make a more professional effort and it’s resulted in five wins in their last seven outings.

Brandon Ingram is questionable for the game after sitting out versus the Pacers due to a wonky ankle.
Likewise Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also missed the Indiana game. KCP is nursing a right Achilles tendon strain making his appearance in this game questionable.
Rookie Lonzo Ball definitely won’t play for the fourth consecutive game as he deals with a left knee strain.
