Let’s figure out the injuries from Knicks-Lakers game and their impact on the clash.
New York Knicks (32-16) put home streak on the line against the Los Angeles Lakers (27-16) in the highly anticipated NBA matchup on Saturday night. It has already become the most expensive game of the season amidst skyrocketed ticket prices.
The Lakers are 3-1 in the five-game road trip and gained the momentum after a 38-point blowout win against the Wizards in the previous game. LeBron James and Co. would look to increase the gap with intercity rivals, Clippers who are one win away to reach fifth in the West.
On the flip note, the Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and stand third in the East. New York are coming off a 122-112 win over Denver Nuggets and have gone 17-8 at home this season.
