Golden State Warriors Betting Preview

The Golden State Warriors are coming into this game with plenty of momentum as they've won eight of their last 10 games overall. They will be eager to keep it going after routing the Hornets in a 119-101 road win last night. Buddy Hield led the team with 22 points off the bench, Stephen Curry steered the offense with 21 points and 10 assists, Brandin Podziemski tallied 19 points while Draymond Green chipped in with 16 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 42 percent from the field and 18 of 50 from the 3-point line as they took advantage of some sloppy turnovers from the Hornets to take the early lead. However, they really didn't get any separation until they caught fire with 33 points in the fourth quarter to make it look easy in the end. The Warriors will play against the Nets following this one.

New York Knicks Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in great form as they've won 13 of their last 17 games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Heat in a 116-112 overtime road win on Sunday. Jalen Brunson led the team with 31 points and six assists, OG Anunoby added 23 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in with 19 points and 16 rebounds. As a team, the Knicks shot 48 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going. They had to work their way back from an early 19-point deficit, before pulling away in overtime to cap off the impressive comeback road win. The Knicks will meet the Lakers after this game.

Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks Prediction

The Warriors are still slightly shorthanded with Jonathan Kuminga still out, while the Knicks are keeping an eye on Karl-Anthony Towns who is questionable for this one. The Warriors are coming into this meeting as one of the hottest teams in the league. You could say the same about the Knicks who also have the extra advantage of extra rest as they haven't played since Sunday. This is a tough one to pick as the Knicks should be favorites at home, but they seem much more vulnerable if Towns isn't able to suit up, so this could be a nice spot for a Warriors upset. You can make an argument for either side, but I am leaning towards the Knicks to get a statement win at home against a Warriors team playing on zero days rest.
