Knicks vs Clippers Prediction 3/26/25 NBA Picks Today

The New York Knicks play host to the Los Angeles Clippers at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. Here’s a Knicks vs Clippers Prediction. This article will include a Knicks vs Clippers Pick.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been in great shape, as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall. However, they will be looking to bounce back after having their five-game win streak halted by the red-hot Thunder in a 103-101 home defeat on Sunday. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists, James Harden added 17 points with eight assists, while Ivica Zubac chipped in with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and two blocks.

As a team, the Clippers shot 42 percent from the field and eight of 26 from the 3-point line as they squandered an early 12-point lead and worked hard to regain the lead with just 2:19 left on the clock, before the Thunder closed the final 1:54 on a 6-2 run to beat the Clippers in a dramatic finish. The Clippers will meet the Nets after this game.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in pretty good shape, as they’ve won five of their last eight games overall. They will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the depleted Mavericks in a 128-113 home win last night. OG Anunoby led the team with 35 points on 15 of 24 shooting, Karl-Anthony Towns racked up a triple-double of 26 points with 12 rebounds and 11 assists, Mikal Bridges added 21 points while Josh Hart tallied a triple-double of 16 points with 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

As a team, the Knicks shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field and 10 of 26 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 37 points in the first quarter. However, they couldn’t gain any separation until they dominated the third quarter by 30-16 to lead by as many as 26 points at one stage. The Knicks will face the Bucks following this one.

Why the New York Knicks will win

• The Clippers have lost each of their last eight road games against teams that held a winning record.
• The home team has won each of the Knicks’ last six games.
• The Clippers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last eight road games against teams that held a winning record.
• The home team has covered the spread in each of the Knicks’ last five games.

Why the Los Angeles Clippers will win

• The Knicks have lost each of their last 11 games as home underdogs against Pacific Division opponents.
• The Clippers have won each of their last seven games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Knicks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last nine home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Knicks rank 29th in the league for blocks per game this season (4.0).
• The Knicks rank 3rd in the league for opponent steals per game this season (6.9).
• The Clippers rank 2nd in the league for opponent rebounds per game this season (42.1).
• The Clippers rank 2nd in the league for Q3 win percentage this season (63.4%).

The Clippers are keeping an eye on James Harden, who is questionable for this one with foot soreness, while the Knicks are still playing without Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride. The Clippers have been playing some of their best basketball of the season, and they almost took down the league-leading Thunder in their last outing.

The Knicks are coming into this one fresh off an easy win over the depleted Mavericks for their second straight victory. My pick might change if Harden is unable to suit up for this one, but the Clippers have been the more consistent and more impressive team lately. I think they take care of business at the short line in this spot.
