Joes Pick To Cover The Spread

James Harden is set to make his debut for th Clippers and we will get a chance to see what LA’s new lineup will look like. Although the Clippers are full of star power, I’m expecting a big game out of Jalen Brunson. My pick for the spread is Knicks at +2, and I also like them to pick up the win.
