The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 38-28 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in a playoff spot. They have also looked good on their home court with their 20-13 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 42-23 record overall which has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team too with their 21-12 road record this season. The Knicks are starting to gain some momentum again with 2 wins in a row now, but they are still 5-5 in their last 10 games and haven't looked that great. They are coming off a win over the Trail Blazers in their last one, but they needed OT just to beat one of the worst teams in the West by 1 point. Now they are missing their best player Brunson too and that will have a big impact on the team in these kinds of games. The Warriors have been rolling lately as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 6 wins in a row now. They already beat the Knicks in New York during this streak too, and now they will have the opportunity to beat a weakened version of the Knicks on their own home court. The Warriors were struggling for most of the season, but they have looked like a different team since trading for Jimmy Butler, and they are not going to slow down anytime soon since they are still fighting with the Timberwolves for that last true playoff spot in the West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.
