On Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors hit the road for a showdown against the New York Knicks. Golden State has found a new sense of urgency since acquiring Jimmy Butler before the NBA trade deadline, winning eight of their last ten games. They now find themselves inside the playoff picture with a chance to continue their recent success on the road against the Knicks. Meanwhile, New York has seemingly put its recent struggles in the past and enters this matchup on a three-game winning streak. Expect a dogfight in a battle against two teams looking to make a statement.

Warriors vs Knicks Best Bet: Warriors ML +150
The Warriors enter this road matchup as the underdogs despite being one of the hottest teams in the league over their recent stretch of games. Golden State weathered the storm, and as of late, they look like a team that could make some noise when the postseason comes around. Meanwhile, New York has a three-game winning streak, but their last three wins have come by five points or fewer. Give me the odds that Steve Kerr’s squad can steal a win on the road.
Warriors vs Knicks Best Total Bet: Over 228
New York enters this matchup averaging 117.6 points per game and ranking in the top five in the league. Meanwhile, the Warriors sit in the middle of the pack, averaging 113.1 points per matchup. Assuming this trend stays the same in the season’s first matchup between these squads, I’ll take the over on the 228-point set total.
Warriors Best Player Bet: Stephen Curry 30+ Points Scored +158
Stephen Curry has been one of the biggest beneficiaries since being paired alongside Jimmy Butler. The star guard has seemingly found a second wind with another threat alongside him that prevents opposing defenses from sending double teams at him on a nightly basis all game long. Curry is only averaging 24 points per game on the season. Still, we all know the 36-year-old can explode for 30+ on any night, especially in a historic arena like Madison Square Garden.
Knicks Best Player Bet: Jalen Brunson 3+ Made Threes +104
Jalen Brunson continues to shine for the Knicks this season, averaging 26.1 points per game entering this matchup. New York will likely continue to depend on the Villanova product to carry the weight on offense, and with his efficient shooting from field goal range and beyond the arc, Brunson has proven time and time again that he’ll deliver. With 3+ threes made in three of his last four games, I’ll take the odds that the playmaker delivers again on Tuesday night.
