Doncic is averaging 32.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists while anchoring a Lakers offense that shoots 49.9 percent from the field, a mark well above what the Knicks typically allow.
Karl-Anthony Towns has driven the Knick’s interior presence with 19.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, while OG Anunoby burned the Lakers for 25 points in the last meeting.
Los Angeles still produces 51.6 paint points per game, a number often fueled by LeBron James, who will not be active Sunday.
