Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Warriors are piling up the losses and it shouldn’t be any different here given their injury report. The Warriors are down nearly their entire rotation at this point. The Knicks have been a buzz saw at MSG this season and they’re 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. Given all of the bodies that are out for the Warriors, this game shouldn’t be close. At all. Thick number for a reason. Give me the Knicks in a blowout victory.
