Game Preview
On December 18, at crypto.com Arena, the Los Angeles Lakers (15-11) welcome the New York Knicks (14-11), who have won 4 consecutive home games.
The New York Knicks are in a bit of a slump as they have dropped 4 of their last 6 contests. Following their crushing 144-122 defeat at the hands of the Clippers on the road in their last game, they will be looking for a stronger showing. Donte DiVincenzo and RJ Barrett each tallied eighteen points, while Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson both scored twenty-two points. The Knicks as a unit shot 46% from the field and 11 of 35 from 3-point range, but they were unable to stop the Clippers’ tandem of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, who scorched them for 61 points on 23 of 34 shooting. The Knicks have only permitted over 133 points in a game twice this season, and they currently rank 9th in terms of points surrendered per game (111.8).
The Lakers on the other hand, lost 129-115 to the Spurs in their last game. LeBron James gave the Lakers an impressive showing despite the loss, recording a double-double with 23 points and 14 assists. Rui Hachimura scored 20 points off the bench, while Austin Reaves added 22 points, and he set a new season record with 14 assists. Though it was evident that Anthony Davis was missing, he is labeled as questionable (hip) for this upcoming game against the Knicks. This season, Davis averages 23.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.6 blocks per game. If he is unable to play against the Knicks, that kind of output won’t be simply replaced. James has a calf contusion and is therefore marked as questionable. The core of the Lakers’ defense has been James, Austin Reaves, and Jarred Vanderbilt.
