What there is to know
The New York Knicks’ road trip will continue as they take on the Golden State Warriors at 10 p.m. ET on March 18 at Chase Center. Both teams have worked hard to overcome obstacles in their previous battles and are surely both feeling confident ahead of this clash.
Last Saturday, New York was able to pull off a solid victory against the Kings, winning the game 98-91.
Jalen Brunson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, scoring 42 points and four steals.
The Lakers usually have all the answers at home, but on Saturday the Warriors proved too difficult a challenge. They won against the Lakers with a score of 128-121.
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry were among the Warriors’ key playmakers as the former scored 26 points and the latter 31 points along with six rebounds and five assists. Curry didn’t help the Warriors’ cause much against the Bulls last Thursday, but the same can’t be said for this game.
New York’s victory was its fourth straight on the road, improving its record to 40-27. Despite these good results, the team’s offense did not work: over this period, they averaged only 105.0 points per game. As for Golden State, their victory brought their record to 35-31.
Monday’s contest is one where the number of possessions will likely be a big factor: the Knicks haven’t given up the ball easily this season, averaging just 12.5 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like the Warriors struggled in that department as they averaged just 13.8 turnovers per game. Given these competing forces, it will be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Knicks are hoping to defy the odds on Monday as experts believe they are headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they’re sitting on a three-game streak of covering the spread when playing as underdogs on the road.
