Knicks vs Clippers Expert Picks Tonight
OVER 220.5 (-110)
The advanced stats support a high-scoring Knicks vs Clippers game tonight.
New York's median offensive rating over their last 10 games sit at 114.45 points per 100 possessions. While the Clippers is even higher at 116.5. Not only that LA's defensive rating has fallen off a cliff since trading Ivica Zubic and sits at 113.95 points allowed per 100 over their last 10.
With a shorter total of 220.5 we don't need a track meet to hit the OVER. Ty Lue's Clippers have posted a low turnover rate of under 13% over their last 10, which leads to fewer dead possessions, along with an extremely high free-throw attempt rate of .338. Essentially they're creating easy points, while stopping the clock. Which is exactly what we want for our Knicks vs Clippers OVER play.
On the flip side, the Knicks 29.8% offensive rebounding percentage gives them a ton of second-chance scoring opportunities, and helps to offset their slower tempo.
Both teams also offer an efficient effective field goal percentage above 54%, which translates to them getting clean looks at the bucket. I love the OVER 220.5 in this one due to the low total, solid shooting efficiency profiles from both squads, and enough free-throw pressure from both to lift the scoring without needing a fast pace. Plus, the total has gone OVER in four of the Clippers last five games and 12 of the last 18 meetings with the Knicks.
Knicks vs Clippers Prop Tonight
Karl-Anthony Towns UNDER 12.5 Rebounds (+102)
Towns has crossed this line in four of his last five games, and that's exactly why we're making the contrarian play tonight. The Clippers have the size and veteran savvy to contain Towns in the paint and keep him off the glass tonight. In his last five games against LA, including earlier this season, he's averaged just 9.6 rebounds a night, and crossed 12.5 rebounds in just one contest.
