Knicks at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 122, Knicks 105
Money line
PASS.
The Warriors have the best home record in basketball. The Knicks are 11-16 on the road and have lost six straight and nine out of 10 games away from home.
However, it’s not wise to bet six times your potential return on the Warriors (-600). Look to the spread and the total instead.
Against the spread
The Knicks are 25-30 ATS but have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games. Five of their last six losses have been by double digits.
The Warriors are 29-22-4 ATS, including 17-10-2 ATS at home. They have failed to cover the spread in their last three games – one was a push – and are 4-4-2 ATS in the last 10 games. They are 5-4 ATS in the second game of back-to-back sets.
The Warriors beat the Knicks 105-96 at Madison Square Garden Dec. 14, covering as 5.5-point favorites.
After Wednesday’s loss at the Jazz, I anticipate the Warriors bouncing back and winning handily.
Take the WARRIORS -9.5 (-112).
Over/Under
Before scoring only 85 points Wednesday, the Warriors had averaged 120.9 points in their previous seven games.
The Knicks have allowed 110 points or more in six of their last seven games, giving up an average of 116.6 points per game. They have scored no fewer than 104 points in their last six games.
Take OVER 218.5 (-107).
