The New York Knicks (19-10) play host to the San Antonio Spurs (15-14) at the Madison Square Garden in an inter-conference NBA clash on Christmas day. The Knicks are third in the Eastern Conference, while the Spurs are ninth in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The New York Knicks welcomed the Toronto Raptors at the Madison Square Garden on Tuesday in the first game of their two-game homestand. In that match, Karl Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby scored 31 points as their team comfortably cruised to a 139-125 victory. 

With that result, the Knicks ended a two-game losing streak in front of their crowd and are in pole position for securing a second consecutive victory.

It's also worth mentioning that they head into this clash boasting a four-match winning streak and should be confident of securing another favorable outcome. 

Following a 111-106 defeat on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers, the San Antonio Spurs record now reads as 4-2 in their last six outings.

While a return to winning ways is what they'll be eyeing in this matchup, the Spurs have lost four consecutive away matches against the Knicks, which could throw a wrench in their plans. 

Adding insult to injury, they boast a 4-7 record in their 11 away games this season. However, it's worth mentioning that Gregg Popovich's men have won three of their last five away matches.
