NBA: Shootout at MSG? Knicks v Clippers and Frank looks at points

Clippers (-10) @ KNICKS (224)
Pick: Over 224

Doesn’t this just feel like a game where neither team plays a lick of defense? This total opened at 222 and has been steamed up by a deuce and we’re in agreement with the move. The over has cashed in three of the Knicks last four games and our guess is that this is the start of a run on Knicks overs as the regular season winds down. Effort is usually the biggest component required on the defensive end and is either team going to come with a strong defensive effort in this one? After their playoff fate looked to be up in the air last month, the Clippers can breathe easily knowing they’ll be headed to the postseason. These two teams met earlier this month and the total landed at 235. The over has also cashed in three of the last four Clippers games as well. First to 120 wins at Madison Square Garden today.
