The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 30-27 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They haven't been great for a majority of the season but now they are starting to get hot. They haven't been bad in their road games this year with their 14-12 road record and they have looked really good in their games lately with their 8-2 record over their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-24 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 20-10 home record. The Knicks have had a lot of problems with injured players lately though and they haven't looked as good as they did when they were surging up the standings in the East. Now they have cooled off with the injuries to some important players in the lineup and they have looked terrible lately with their 3-7 record in their last 10 games. They are coming off another loss on their home court in their last game against the Pelicans and the Warriors have been doing nothing but gaining momentum over the last few weeks. The Knicks have been the better team this season but the Warriors are the hotter team coming into this one and have been playing better basketball lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“We knew we were going to have to have volume 3s and make them if we were going to have a chance. I like the shots that we got.
