The Los Angeles Clippers (45-22 straight up, 37-29-1 against the spread) are 13-4 straight up and 9-7-1 against the spread in their last 17 games. They’ve won eight of those 13 games by double-digit margins.

For the season, Tyronn Lue’s club is 26-9 SU and 21-14 ATS in its 35 home games.

Rajon Rondo, who was acquired for Lou Williams from Atlanta just before the trade deadline, has been a steadying force for this squad. The veteran point guard has dished out 70 assists compared to 12 turnovers in his last 12 games (out of 13, he missed one with an injury).

New York is 0-2 both SU and ATS on this West-coast trip, losing by scores of 113-97 and 128-105 at Denver and at Phoenix, respectively. The Knicks’ Immanuel Quickley and Alec Burks have missed both of those games due to injuries.

Burks and Quickley are both ‘out’ again today against the Clippers at Staples Center. Quickley scored 25 points for the Knicks in a 129-115 home loss to the Clippers on Jan. 31. 

I like the Clippers laying the single-digit number.

PREDICTION: L.A. Clippers -7.5 vs. New York
