The New York Knicks are in Los Angeles for the start of their five-game road trip that will begin with a back-to-back. It will be New York's first time playing the Lakers with Luka Doncic, as the trade happened hours after LA beat the Knicks at MSG on Feb. 1.
The Lakers have since risen to the No. 2 seed in the West and have won eight in a row. Their most recent win was a 136-115 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday. LA's most impressive win over its streak was a 123-100 victory over Nikola Jokic and Denver on Feb. 22.
New York was riding a three-game win streak before coming up short against Golden State on Tuesday. Karl-Anthony Towns missed the game for personal reasons and Tom Thibodeau wasn't sure if he'd travel with the team to LA. He isn't on the injury report, but a few other key Knicks players are.
