Warriors vs Knicks Prediction
The Knicks are still playing without Jalen Brunson and Delon Wright is listed as questionable, while the Warriors have ruled out Brandin Podziemski once again. The Knicks are well rested as they haven’t played since Wednesday when they took down the Trail Blazers in overtime, but they are still missing Jalen Brunson who has been so crucial to their success this season. The Warriors are coming into this meeting as the hottest team in the Western Conference, and they just smashed the Kings despite a quiet night from Curry. All streaks come to an end eventually, but the Warriors are in a groove right now, they are healthy, and they should have no trouble covering this modest spread at home against an undermanned Knicks squad.
