ASA NBA play on 8* UNDER 214.5 NY Knicks @ LA Lakers, 10:10 PM ET - We have a pair of similar teams here when it comes to key statistics including: pace, offensive and defensive efficiency. First off, the Knicks are the slowest paced team in the NBA at 96.2 possessions per game. The Lakers are average or 15th at 98.7. Both teams are outstanding defensively with the Lakers holding the top spot in defensive efficiency allowing just 1.071PPP while the Knicks are 4th giving up just 1.109PPP. When it comes to offense these two rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA in offensive efficiency so scoring does not come easy for either team. The Knicks just played the “other” L.A. team who is better offensively and worse defensively than the Lakers and that game finished with just 206 total points. Even though the total set on this game is considerably lower than league average the value according to our math model is still on the Under.
