Why Knicks’ success against the spread may start to slow

The Knicks' Mike Miller

Because of the recent flood of football, it’s been awhile since we’ve been able to check in on the Knicks. Mike Miller’s rejuvenated but often-overmatched roster continues to bring effort and intensity as it heads into Tuesday night’s meeting with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

Sunday’s 135-132 loss to the Clippers at the same site easily covered a 10-point spread. That brought the Knicks to 9-5 against the number since head coach David Fizdale was fired and replaced by Miller. The Knicks are 6-8 straight up in Miller’s games, compared to 4-18 before the change.
