The rivalry between the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers has lost some of its lustre but it's always entertaining watching the old foes square off, which is the case once again Sunday as the Knicks play host to their West Coast rivals.

- The Lakers are 0-6 SU and ATS in their last six games after a win.
- The total has gone under in the Knicks' last six games as favorites.
New York, who fell to Milwaukee 99-92 in their last game on Friday, has been a nice bet to bounce back lately. The Knickerbockers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games coming off a loss.
Many NBA pundits have deemed the Lakers to be the worst team in the league and it's hard to argue with that statement thus far. L.A. is 1-4 SU and ATS in its first five games and have looked like a mess on both ends of the floor more often than not, leading to speculation that the seat beneath head coach Byron Scott may be heating up quicker than anticipated.
