Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks head-to-head record
According to their last five meetings, the Lakers have prevailed in three of them, including their most recent meeting on February 2, 2025, when they defeated the other team 128–112. However, the Knicks have demonstrated their ability to compete, winning by a slim margin of 112-108 in March 2023 and 114-109 in December 2023. The Lakers have momentum going into this game because they have won six straight games and are strong at home this season. The Knicks, on the other hand, have a 6-1 record in games decided by fewer than four points and have performed well on the road. The Lakers will try to maintain their success with LeBron James at the forefront and Austin Reaves recently stepping up, but Karl-Anthony Towns's influence in the paint and Jalen Brunson's recent scoring outburst might give New York a chance. Anticipate a fierce contest, with the Lakers holding a slim advantage because of their previous performance.
