Wed Mar 05 00:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Underdogs Warriors Face Knicks in Madison Square Garden Showdown

**New York, NY** – The Golden State Warriors (33-28) will challenge the New York Knicks (40-20) tonight at Madison Square Garden in a highly anticipated matchup. While the Knicks boast a strong home record (8-2 in their last ten games) and a three-game winning streak (albeit by narrow margins), the Warriors enter the game having won six of their last seven.

The Knicks’ recent victories have been nail-biters, all decided by five points or less, including two overtime games. Conversely, the Warriors are coming off a loss against the 76ers but have generally been playing well.

Oddsmakers favor the Knicks (-188) over the Warriors (+156), implying a projected score of around 117 for the Knicks and 115 for the Warriors. However, NBC Sports Bet’s model offers a mixed bag of predictions. While it recommends betting on the Knicks’ moneyline, it leans towards the Warriors covering the spread (+4) and the under (232) on the game total.

Historically, the Knicks have performed well against Pacific Division teams, winning four of their last five matchups. Meanwhile, the over has hit in 13 of the last 20 games combining the Warriors’ road and Knicks’ home performances. The Warriors have a solid road record, covering the spread in 18 of their 31 away games.
