In terms of injuries, Steph Curry is listed as questionable, having an ankle injury. Over their last 10 games, the Golden State Warriors have a record of 8-2, including 8-2-0, against the spread.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are coming off a thrilling overtime win over the Miami Heat 116-112. Jalen Brunson was sensational with 31 points, five rebounds, and six assists while shooting 13/25 from the floor. Karl-Anthony Towns was great as well. Towns finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds. OG Anunoby might have been the star of the game. OG finished with 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks while shooting 9/18 from the floor, including 4/9 from three. With a record of 40-20 on the season, the Knicks sit in third place in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, the Knicks are subpar at best. For the season, they are ranked 13th in points, allow per game, 24th in an opponent field goal percentage, 30th in opponent field goal percentage, 29th in blocks per game, 20th in steals per game, 24th in rebounds per game, and 18th in defensive rating. Regarding the Knicks’ injuries, Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for this game. Over the last 10 games, New York has a record of 7-3, including 3-7-0 against the spread.
Prediction
The New York Knicks will defeat the Golden State Warriors at home and cover the 5 1/2 point spread in this game. With this being a regular season game, this game should be close to the end. Even if Karl-Anthony Towns does not play, the Knicks have too much high-end talent. Both teams have been two of the best in the league over the last 10 games. However, I expect a Jalen Brunson and Steph Curry explosion, which will be great at MSG. However, I think the New York Knicks pull away late, cover the 5 1/2 point spread, and defeat the Golden State Warriors tonight.
Final Pick
New York Knicks -5.5 (-108)
