The streaking New York Knicks kick off a four-game home stand Tuesday night when the Golden State Warriors pay a visit.
These two teams also played on Nov. 18 in the Bay Area, with the defending NBA champions coming out on top of a 111-101 final.
Tip-off is fixed for 7:30 p.m. at Madison Square Garden. Unless these two squads meet up for the right to hoist the title, this will be the last time they see each other this go-round.
Before we make our Warriors vs Knicks betting picks, let’s take a quick look at how both teams have done on the NBA schedule, the NBA odds today, and some NBA team stats.
