Warriors vs Knicks Prediction
Don’t look now, but the Knicks have lost 6 of their last 8 games and have failed to cover 8 of their last 10 games. The Knicks are now on the end of a back to back and there’s a chance Brunson won’t play after leaving last night with an ankle injury. Not great for the Knicks. The Warriors are at home, rested, and healthy, and they’ve been beating up on bottom feeders over the last couple of weeks. The Knicks aren’t a booth feeder, but they’re in slump mode and extremely vulnerable if Brunson can’t play. Oddsmakers are telling you what to think about this matchup with this line. It’s Warriors or pass for me.
