- The Golden State Warriors are 6.5-point home favorites vs the New York Knicks
- New York is seeking their third straight road win
- Read below for the Knicks vs Warriors preview, with odds and predictions
The Golden State Warriors are probably glad they’re back at home — it’s the only place they’ve had any success this season.
On Friday, they’ll host a New York Knicks squad looking for their third straight road win.
The Dubs are looking their wounds after a 130-119 whipping in Phoenix, while the Knicks just handed Denver their first home loss of the year, taking advantage of roster that was missing 2-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
It all gets underway at 10pm ET from Chase Center, in a game that can be seen live on ESPN.

The NBA odds have the Dubs as 6.5-point home favorites, in a game that features a total of 233.
Golden State has lost all eight games they’ve played on the road, but their 6-1 mark at home is the second-most wins in the West. After an 0-3 start away from MSG, New York has reeled off four wins in their last five away games.
New York Betting Outlook
The Knicks picked up their first win in the Mile High City in 16 years, downing the Nuggets 106-103.
Julius Randle led the way for the visitors, dropping a game-high 34 points, to go along with 11 rebounds, four assists and four steals. He was flanked by Jalen Brunson, who added 21 points and seven assists.

New York was without big man Mitchell Robinson, who sat out with a knee injury, and is listed as questionable for Friday. That opened the door for a rare Randle-Obi Toppin 4th-quarter frontcourt, spread around three guards.
The formula worked, as the Knicks outscored the Nuggets 26-19 in the decisive fourth quarter. The Knicks are far better defensively on the road, surrendering 111.5 points per game, vs 120.1 at MSG.
They’ll still need some better production from RJ Barrett, especially against the defending champs. He’s coming off a 4-for-18 performance at Denver, scoring just 11 points and missing all nine of this 3-point attempts. He’s 0-for-17 from deep over his last four games.
Golden State Betting Outlook
Another game, another major road fail for the Warriors.
Golden State entered the coming off a 37-point drilling of the San Antonio Spurs, but they couldn’t recreate that same magic in the Desert.
This despite the fact that Steph Curry dropped 50 points on 17-for-28 shooting, including 7-of-11 from downtown. He added nine rebounds and six assists.
Klay Thompson, who sat out the Spurs game for rest, had another sub-20 point game, scoring 19 on 6-for-17 shooting. He’s crossed the 20-point plateau just once this season.
Stephen Curry put on a SCORING CLINIC tonight, putting up a 50 BALL on 60.7% shooting and knocking down 7 triples!

Defensively, Golden State couldn’t stop the Phoenix attack, as the Suns shot 51.2% from the field and a sparkling 21-for-40 from three-point range, a 52.5% clip.
The Dubs are a tale of two teams, depending on locale. At Chase Center, they have a +10.3 point differential, which would rank first in the NBA by a country mile. On the road, it’s flipped, with a -10.6 point differential. That’s almost a full point clear of the last-place Detroit Pistons.

Knicks vs Warriors Prediction
It will be interesting to see if New York can make enough shots to keep up with the Warriors, who rank fourth in scoring at 117.5 points per game, which is amped up to 121.4 at home.
The Knicks are 12th in scoring at 114.3 points per game, but they do much of their damage in the paint, where they put up 56.3 points per game, which ranks second in the NBA.
However, they’re the second-worst three-point shooting team in the league. After an 8-for-34 mark against Denver, they’re shooting just 32% on the year on over 35 attempts per game.
New York has been a good road bet, though: the Knicks are 10-2 against the spread in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning home record. They’re 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Golden State.
Still, we got burned last time thinking the Dubs were for the taking at home. Look for the GState bounce back as they continue that wild home/away split.
Pick:
- Warriors -6.5 (-110); 1 unit to win 0.91 units
- NBA Betting Record: 6-6 ATS, 1-0 ML, 2-2 o/u; 0-1 parlays; -1.20 units
