Defensively, the Knicks are giving up 111.1 points per game, while opponents shoot 46.6 percent against them and 38.9 percent from the arc. Marcus Morris Sr. is leading the team with 18.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Julius Randle is adding 16.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per contest.
Warriors fall at home
Golden State returned home from a five-game road trip out East where it went 1-4. The Warriors suffered a 110-102 loss at home to Memphis on Monday night. Golden State is 5-20 on the season, 2-8 at home, 11-14 against the spread and 14-11 with the under.

New York
The Knights are 7-23 against the spread in their last 30 Wednesday games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against a team with a losing home record.
Golden State
The Warriors are just 16-34-1 against the spread in their last 51 home games and 12-30-1 ATS in their last 43 games as a home favorite.
Prediction:
These two have yet to meet this season and both are certainly hard to trust to perform at any level. However, Golden State still has some All-Star capable players. The Knicks just don’t have the talent. No disrespect to Marcus Morris, but he shouldn’t be the go-to player on a franchise. The Knicks have had three of their last four games decided by 30 points or more. They just aren’t competitive. Golden State should be able to beat this team at home thanks to their stronger scoring ability.
NBA Prediction: Golden State Warriors -5
