The match Keys to Knicks vs. Warriors

It was another disaster for the Knicks, as Jalen Brunson suffered an ankle injury in a 112-101 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Ultimately, the potential loss of Brunson is bad news for a team that went 2-5 in January. If Brunson isn’t available, that means the Knicks will have to step up and do others to attack the Warriors.

The Knicks need Karl-Anthony Towns to step up, and others to do their part. Of course, it won’t be easy on the back end of the back-to-back. Michael Bridges performs there. He struggled last night, scoring 19 points while shooting 6 of 20 from the floor. OG Anunoby also didn’t play well, scoring 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting. Their offensive struggles gave the Kings momentum on defense. Towns also struggled, scoring just 13 points while shooting 5 of 15. The Knicks need to shoot significantly better after shooting just 39% against the Kings.

The Warriors are coming off a 119-97 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. It is significant that The Warriors won despite Stephen Curry strugglingshowing the depth of this team. Instead, the team got production from guys like De’Anthony Melton, who led the way with 23 points. Brandin Podziemski added 15 off the bench. But they also need their starters to contribute.

Jimmy Butler had a solid game with 16 points while shooting 5 of 7 against the Blazers. Still, he has to do more to help beat a team like the Knicks. Moses Moody and Draymond Green will also be expected to take control as the Warriors try to get the job done at home. The main key to winning for any Warriors always involves good shooting and floor spacing.

Knicks vs. Warriors Prediction and Picks

If Brunson had played, this would have been a tougher game. However, his ankle injury puts his status in question. While the news has been positive and the Knicks don’t see it as a major injury, it could be dangerous to put him in the game after last night’s game. Therefore, the Knicks could rest him. If that happens, the Warriors will have the upper hand. The Warriors will find a way to win and cover the spread against a resilient Knicks team.
