The Lakers, who are 6-point faves, are likely to be without center Andrew Bynum for this contest. Bynum, who was averaging 26.2 points and 13.8 rebounds in his previous five games, hurt his knee in the first quarter Saturday after Kobe Bryant crashed into his right leg.

The Lakers must now turn their focus to New York, which has won six of its last seven games and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10.

Bryant is averaging 30.5 PPG on 49.5 percent shooting in his last four games versus the Knicks. He had 39 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in his last visit to MSG, where the Lakers won 95-90 on Dec. 23, 2007.
