Steph Curry and the Warriors host the Knicks on Saturday night. These two teams met in New York just 11 days ago. The Warriors won that game on the back of a great performance from Steph Curry and a strong defensive showing. The Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson for this game after he suffered an ankle injury against the Lakers a few nights ago. New York is not the same without its superstar point guard, who is one of the best offensive players in basketball. However, it might be a better defensive team without Brunson. Mitchell Robinson has also returned for the Knicks and he is a great perimeter defender. In the three games since Brunson got hurt, the Knicks have only given up 107.3 points per game, and that includes one game going to overtime.
Curry will need to have a big performance for the Warriors to pick up a win in this matchup. Last time out against the Knicks, Curry had 28 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in the Golden State victory. Curry and the Warriors have been playing at an incredibly high level since acquiring Jimmy Butler. The Warriors traded for Butler on Feb 3rd. Since then, they have a record of 13-2 and carry a six-game winning streak into this matchup. Curry’s play has been significantly elevated since getting a second option that opposing defenses need to respect. Since Feb. 3rd, Curry is averaging 28.7 points per game. He has been getting great looks from three and is averaging 5.0 made three-pointers per game on 42.1% shooting from deep.
My favorite prop bet for Steph Curry is for him to score over 25.5 points. Curry is averaging well over this number over the past six weeks and he has been shooting lights out. This is not a traditional Tom Thibodeau team that dominates on the defensive end but struggles to score. The Knicks are fifth in offensive rating this season and 14th in defensive rating. They rank 29th in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage, allowing 37.4% shooting from deep. Curry should have a good shooting night against New York and clear this number for the sixth time in the past nine games.
