BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Golden State's last 5 games on the road.

Golden State are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against New York.

The total has gone UNDER in 8 of New York's last 9 games.

New York are 0-8 SU in their last 8 games when playing at home against Golden State.

 

Prediction

The Warriors have been up and down this season and have struggled on the road losing 14 of their 17 games away from home. The Knicks are on a hot streak as they have won 7 games in a row but are only 5-7-2 ATS at home. However, the Warriors will be without their All-Star Steph Curry for this game and the last time they beat the Knicks Curry scored 24 points so I expect this game to be much closer. Take the Knicks.

PICK: Warriors -4.5 (-110)
