Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks: Injury Report, Predicted Lineups and Starting 5s - December 14th, 2021 | NBA Season 2021-22

The Golden State Warriors will lock horns with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

All eyes in this encounter will be on Stephen Curry as he is just 2 short of breaking Ray Allen's all-time three-point record. Considering his ability to shoot, the 33-year-old will most likely achieve this feat and cement his place as the greatest shooter in the history of the game.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks will want to make it as difficult as they can for him to reach that milestone. They have lost three games in a row and look extremely troubled on the defensive end. Stopping the Warriors is going to be a tough task for them. However, since the game is at MSG, they could get a boost with the fans cheering them on.
