Knicks vs Warriors Prediction
The Knicks should be favored at home where they have 21 wins, and they have the rest advantage. However, the Knicks have covered just three of their last seven games. The Warriors are as hot as any team in the league, with an 8-2 SU and ATS record since the addition of Jimmy Butler. I’m just not excited to jump in front of the Warriors right now, especially in the underdog role. The road team has won seven of the last nine games between the Warriors and Knicks. Check the injury report before betting to make sure Curry and others play on the end of a back-to-back. Give me the points with the Warriors.
