Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks: prediction for the NBA match
The previous two games went to the Warriors. At the same time, Golden State was stronger away both times. Only one of those meetings has taken place so far, so the Knicks will have a hard time for the rest of the season.
Golden State Warriors
The Suns don’t back down and just keep the bar high. No matter how hard Golden State tries, however, it is not possible to catch up with the leader of the West, so Monty Williams’ wards and the head coach himself can be given credit for their character and desire to win. Phoenix showed class in the last meeting, when they beat one of the leading clubs in the East Philadelphia and on the road (114-109). No matter how hard Joel Embiid tried, Devin Booker always found something to answer. The Sunnys will face another serious test in the face of the reigning champion Milwaukee, however, the game will be held at home.
New York Knicks
The Knicks went on a four-game losing streak again. The last time when the wards of Tom Thibodeau managed to win was in early February, when they defeated Sacramento (96:116). However, after that they had very strong rivals. Beating Denver (115:132) or the Lakers (115:122) is not easy. Despite the recent setbacks, the “knickerbockers” continue to fight for a place in the play-in. So far they are ranked 12th in the East. Two victories separate them from the tenth line. It’s not that much.
Prediction
New York is one of the most boring teams. On the road Thibodeau's wards average 103.7 points. Given that Golden State has one of the best defensive lines in the league, scoring even that many points will be problematic for them. We believe that the meeting will not be productive. Our prediction is for a total less than 219.5 points for odds of 1.77 in bookmaker 1xBet. In December Steve Kerr's men beat the Knicks by nine points. During this time, nothing has changed significantly. Moreover, New York began to play worse. Probably, the scenario of the previous game will be repeated. The second prediction is the victory of Golden State, taking into account the handicap (-7.5) points for 1.76. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.77.
