Warriors vs Knicks

Steph Curry (shoulder) and Andrew Wiggins (groin) aren't expected to play in this game for Golden State while Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga are both listed ...

They have really struggled on defense away from Chase Center, ranking 29th in the NBA in defensive rating on the road. New York has the second-best net rating in the NBA over its last 10 games, and it’s come from a new commitment on the defensive end of the floor. The Warriors are coming off a win against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, led by 43 points from Jordan Poole.

Grading Draymond Green, Jordon Poole, Kevon Looney, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's blowout loss to the New York Knicks.

He’s been playing really well lately, and given that Curry and DiVincenzo are far from the most healthy and durable players in the NBA, Jerome feels pretty important right now. In the 24 minutes when he was on the bench, they got outscored by 38 points. In the 24 minutes when he was on the court, the Warriors played the Knicks to an even draw. I don’t envy the position that Wiseman has been put in, and I do admire his attitude. PBJ’s shot didn’t fall in this one, and he was a little lost at times on defense, but I also thought it was a pretty encouraging performance. It wasn’t a flawless game by any stretch of the imagination — he got sloppy on too many occasions, and certainly didn’t play defense as well as he is capable of. The upside of the blowout loss was some extended run for Baldwin and the other youngsters. And playing 32 minutes with just three rebounds and a lone assist, as a wing, is a bummer. He had the unenviable task of trying to lead the offense with Curry and Wiggins out, and Thompson slumping. This game was reminiscent of Dray’s performance during the 2019-20 season. [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com), one of the worst road teams in the league, marched into their fifth consecutive road contest, missing Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Donte DiVincenzo, and JaMychal Green, to face off against a [New York Knicks](https://www.postingandtoasting.com) team that was riding a seven-game win streak. Sometimes a team that has no business even being in a game finds the magic sauce at every turn, and not only competes, but wins.

We go over some of the best betting options for Tuesday's matchup between the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks.

The Dubs have gone over the total in their last four straight games, but the Knicks are in red-hot form. With the Knicks’ solid defense, which has allowed just 98.3 points per game to their opponents through their seven-game winning streak, I’d expect the total to stay under especially when looking at the lack of Golden State’s firepower without Curry on the floor. [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com) (15-16) will pay a visit to Madison Square Garden to take on the red-hot [New York Knicks](https://www.postingandtoasting.com) (17-13) on Tuesday night. New York, however, is playing some inspired basketball as the Knicks won their last seven games dating back to December 4 against Cleveland.
