  • When: March 15, 2025
  • Who:   New York Knicks vs. Golden State Warriors
  • Time:  5:30 p.m. PST
  • Where: Chase Center (San Francisco, CA)

The New York Knicks will play the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center this Saturday evening. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges will face off against stars Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

The Warriors have been on a hot streak since acquiring Jimmy Butler, while the Knicks are looking to stay afloat without Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined due to injury.

New York

Throughout this season, the New York Knicks have occasionally showcased elite performance on both ends of the court. However, to establish themselves as a real contender in the Eastern Conference, they must seek consistency in the season’s final month.

The Knicks’ shooting percentage is 49%, placing them sixth in the NBA with an average of 117 points per game. While they allow 113 points per game, their defense has significantly improved since the return of key center Mitchell Robinson.

With Jalen Brunson sidelined, the Knicks rely on Karl-Anthony Towns to step up as their leading scorer, averaging 24 points per game.

Additionally, with Bridges, Anunoby, and Hart all contributing over 15 points each night, the team demonstrates impressive scoring depth.

In their most recent matchup, New York achieved a thrilling victory against the Portland Trail Blazers. Mikal Bridges scored 33 points, leading all five starters in double digits.

The game concluded with a dramatic buzzer-beater three-pointer, securing the 114-113 win in overtime.

Golden State

Since the Golden State Warriors added Jimmy Butler to their roster, they’ve been on an impressive run. They’ve won 13 out of their last 14 games, which has propelled them to sixth place in the Western Conference standings.

It’s no surprise that the Warriors rank among the top teams in the NBA for three-pointers made this season, averaging a solid 114 points per game.

With Butler on board, their defense has also improved. They now rank eighth in the league for points allowed, showcasing the depth and versatility he brings to the team. This is a squad that should not be underestimated as the season progresses.

Although he’s getting older, Steph Curry remains a standout, averaging 25 points per game for Golden State.

With Butler contributing an average of 17 points since his arrival, the Warriors seem to have struck the right balance to rekindle their earlier success.

In their latest game, the Warriors delivered a commanding performance against the Sacramento Kings.

Draymond Green led the way with 23 points, joining eight other players who scored in double digits. The team shot a remarkable 56% from three-point range, concluding the game with a convincing 130-104 victory.

Knicks-Warriors Best Bet

The Golden State Warriors will win and cover the 6.5-point spread in this matchup, relying on their health and offensive firepower at home.

The Knicks are on a tough road trip and will face challenges without Brunson, the team’s key player. Lacking their point guard will hinder the Knicks’ offensive capabilities, making it difficult for them to keep up with the Warriors.

With Curry and Butler stepping up, the Warriors, who have won six straight games, will likely deliver another solid performance.

Take the Warriors to cover in this one.
