Analysis: Despite the fact that the New York Knicks are struggling mightily themselves, I like them to cover the spread fairly easily tonight against the offensively-challenged Clippers who haven’t topped 90 points in any of their last three contests.

New York has covered the spread in three of the last four meetings against the Clippers and will make it four of five tonight while playing Under the set O/U total.
