NBA Showdowns: Unbelievable Predictions for Knicks-Lakers and Thunder-Nuggets You Can’t Miss!
Lakers combo guard Austin Reaves is close to returning from injury, and I’d assume he’d like to play in LA’s only visit to The Garden this season, unless the Lakers and Knicks meet in the NBA Finals. But the offense might look sloppy in Reaves’ first couple of games back because he, Luka Dončić, and LeBron James all need the ball to be effective.
That’s a problem for this game. New York has been the best defense in the NBA over the last two weeks and has three elite defensive wings to throw at LAL’s Big 3, including forwards OG Anunoby, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges. Then, when Knicks big Mitchell Robinson is on the floor, the Lakers won’t get anything in the paint.
