Playoff Hopefuls Heading in Different Directions
Defending Champions Below .500
The Golden State Warriors enter the week with a rough 15-16 overall record and currently sit outside the playoffs in 11th place in the Western Conference. On Tuesday, the Warriors take on a New York Knicks team on a 7-0 winning streak.
Let’s check the latest NBA odds, stats, injury reports, and NBA lines for the Warriors vs Knicks. We’ve plenty of NBA betting for you to consider.
Warriors Sans Curry
The Warriors have a lot going against them in their Tuesday trip to Madison Square Garden.
One glaring issue is the Warriors’ awful 3-14 record in road games. We could almost stop this portion of the preview here as I recommend not betting on the Warriors away from home. If you think this is a win/loss problem, it’s not. The Warriors are 4-13 against the spread on the road with a 23.5% win rate.
The only team in the NBA with a worse return on investment (ROI) against the spread is the Chicago Bulls at 2-13.
Adding injury to insult, Steph Curry will miss Tuesday’s game after suffering a scary shoulder injury last week. He will be out for a month.
While Curry works his way back from a groin injury, forward Andrew Wiggins is also out. Additionally, the Warriors have been without Andre Iguodala for most of the month and Klay Thompson is day-to-day.
Knicks on a Tear
The Knicks had to rally, but they beat the Indiana Pacers 109-106 on Sunday to earn their seventh straight victory.
Jalen Brunson dropped 30 points while Julius Randle made six clutch free throws in the waning minutes of play.
Not only are the Knicks red-hot in the win/loss column, but New York is also covering these games.
The Knicks are riding a 7-0 ATS win streak and haven’t missed covering a game since Dec. 3. That is a long streak for an NBA team. So long that the Knicks currently lead the NBA in ROI ATS at 39.14% with a total of 13.15 units won.
More good news for the Knicks is their lack of injuries. The only player listed on the report is Obi Toppin, who remains out with a knee injury.

Warriors vs Knicks Picks & Prediction
I won’t complicate this too much.
On the one hand, we have a Knicks team that is 7-0 against the spread in the last couple of weeks and playing at full strength.
On the other hand, a Warriors team without their best player, limping into the New Year, and with one of the worst ATS records in the NBA.
The choice is easy; Take the Knicks to win, cover, and even up this season’s series.
The Knicks are listed at -200 in our Vegas NBA lines. This means that if you wager $100 on the Knicks, you have a chance to win $50. The Warriors are +170, offering a chance to win $170 on a $100 wager.
The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives Knicks a 66.67% chance to win, with Warriors at 37.04%.
