The New York Knicks (17-13) will try to run their winning streak to eight games when they host the Golden State Warriors (15-16) on Tuesday evening. New York has won six of its last seven games by at least eight points. The Knicks will look to keep that dominant pace going against a Warriors team that is just 3-14 on the road. Stephen Curry (shoulder), Andrew Wiggins (adductor) and Donte DiVincenzo (illness) are out for Golden State, while Obi Toppin (fibula) is out for New York.

Tip-off at Madison Square Garden is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists New York as the 5.5-point favorite in the latest Warriors vs. Knicks odds.

Why the Warriors can cover

Golden State's defense has a favorable matchup on Tuesday. The Warriors are creating 15.4 turnovers per game, and Golden State is holding opponents to 46.4% shooting this season. New York is No. 25 in the NBA in field goal percentage and No. 26 in the NBA in 3-point percentage, with the Knicks also landing in the bottom tier of the league in assists per game. 

On the other end, Golden State leads the league in 3-pointers (16.4 per game) and assists (29.4 per game). The Warriors also rank in the top ten of the NBA in field goal percentage (47.7%), and Golden State puts pressure on opponents with 38.1% shooting from 3-point range.

Why the Knicks can cover

Many of the betting trends favor New York in this one. The Knicks are 8-4 against the spread when favored this season and they have the superior 17-12-1 overall ATS record. Golden State is 14-17 ATS overall and the Warriors have poor ATS records on the road (4-13) and as road underdogs (3-6).

The Knicks are also the healthier team in this matchup with Curry and Wiggins sidelined for Golden State. The trio of Julius Randle (26.4 points per game in December), RJ Barrett (21.1 PPG) and Jalen Brunson (19.4 PPG) are all scoring at high rates this month. Quentin Grimes (12 PPG) and Immanuel Quickley (10.4 PPG) have also been effective secondary scorers this month, so New York has lots of paths to generate offense right now.
