This game will be played at Madison Square Garden at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.
Why Bet the Knicks:
✅ Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins remain out for the Warriors. That forces Jordan Poole and Donte DiVincenzo into starting roles, making one of the worst benches in the NBA even thinner for a tough game like this one.
✅ The Knicks are playing insanely good basketball of late, winning seven straight games. They have completely changed their rotation, focusing on defense, which has helped them get into the top-10 in net rating and defensive rating. They will use that defense to clamp down on Golden State here.
✅ Despite winning at Toronto over the weekend against a lackluster Raptors team, the Warriors are just 3-14 on the road this year. They are a great fade away from home and we will continue to fade the Road Warriors in this game.

Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have had a rough road trip this past week or so. But they finally got a win away from home over the Toronto Raptors in their last outing. Now, the Warriors will look for a second win on this road trip and to build a two-game winning streak as they take on the Knicks.
It is concerning that the Warriors are without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins right now. That leaves them to hope that either Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, or Donte DiVincenzo can get red-hot to help them win games. While all three are more than capable, they are being asked to do too much to cover for the worst bench in basketball.
New York Knicks
There might not be a team playing better basketball right now than the New York Knicks. They have won seven straight games, with their defense being the catalyst to their recent turnaround. New York has allowed under 100 points in four of their last seven games, and will aim to use that defense to stifle the defending champion Warriors here.
It will be interesting to see how the Knicks function offensively against a Warriors team that ranks just 19th in defensive rating coming into this contest. Draymond Green could see time guarding Julius Randle, which will likely require other Knicks to step up offensively against much worse defenders.
