LiontipsGolden State vs New York. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Golden State failed put up a disappointing performance in the latest match. A few key players of Steve Kerr's men missed the match against Utah. It surely affected the Warriors' game. They failed to put up a fight to the Jazzmen and suffered a 85:111 defeat.
Thompson will probably be able for the Warriors' match against the Knicks. Klay was given an opportunity to rest in the previous game, so he didn't take part in the Utah clash. Thompson's return will surely boost the offense of San Francisco team.
Knicks are currently on a four-game losing streak. Tom Thibodeau's men recorded their latest victory at the beginning of February, topping Sacramento (96:116). After that Knicks faced some top-notch opponents. It is not easy to beat Denver (115:132) or the Lakers (115:122).
Despite their recent failures, Knicks are still on the race for the play-in spot. So far they are 12th team in the East, but a 10th spot is only two games away, so club has every chance to overcome the deficit.
