Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks NBA Preview
The Warriors face off against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Both teams want to solidify their spots in the playoff picture and have been excellent over the last few weeks. Let's dive into this matchup.
The Warriors are playing in the second game of a back-to-back, plus their third game in four days. The Warriors may be without Gary Payton II (face) who left their Monday game against the Hornets early, but they may see the return of Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) who has now missed 27 consecutive games.
Even if he does return, he would likely be limited. Steph Curry (ankle) said he's "hopeful" to play Tuesday.
The Knicks are making a quick stop home before starting a Western Conference road trip. The Knicks have listed Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) as questionable for this game. His absence would be tough to navigate given his success against the Warriors; however, we would expect an uptick from both Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart should he sit.
The Warriors have the best Net Rating in the league since the All-Star Break (+17.9) with elite marks on both sides of the ball. The Knicks have struggled, but their schedule has been more difficult than Golden State's post-ASB. The Knicks would be the toughest test for the Warriors in recent weeks.
Warriors vs. Knicks Prediction
The Warriors have been scorching hot since acquiring Jimmy Butler; however, this is a bad schedule spot for them. They are just 4-6 ATS on zero days rest and are 4-9 ATS when at a rest disadvantage. This is a bit of a sell-high spot for the Warriors, as they near the end of this road trip.
For a SGP, I'll take Butler 4+ Assists, Brunson 25+ points, and KAT 20+ points
