Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After the James Harden trade, the Clippers are already playing like the best team in the Western Conference. The Californians have not just six straight wins but 11 wins in their last 14 games.

They played the previous three games at home. First, they beat Portland in a close game (132:127), then they destroyed Sacramento (119:99). Finally, in the last game of the season, they beat Golden State 121:113. And against the Warriors, Paul George was not on the court. But James Harden scored 28 points and made 15 assists.

The Knicks have suddenly become a very productive team. And they started it with defeats from Milwaukee (122:146) and Boston (123:133). Then followed a home victory over Toronto (136:130), and then, traveling away, New York lost to Utah (113:117) but beat Phoenix (139:122). The team has 14 wins in 24 games and fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks will play a back-to-back matchup with the Clippers after a tough matchup with Phoenix, and there's every reason to believe they simply won't have time to recover. That means the Clippers have a great chance to extend their winning streak here. The team has made much progress lately and is playing as if they are hardly the main contender to win the Western Conference. Also, we bet on low scoring - Los Angeles is skilfully slowing down the pace, which, by the looks of it, could end New York's productive streak.
