Golden State Warriors vs. New York Knicks key matchups

The Warriors and Knicks have a talented pool of players. They are also well-coached teams, and it will be a battle of tactics. The Knicks, with all their injuries, will rely on winning certain player matchups in the hopes of causing an upset.

The first thing they would look at is to neutralize Steph Curry. Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart could be used as the primary defenders on the two-time MVP. They have the speed, physicality and defensive acumen to make things difficult for the Warriors superstar.

The other matchup is with the Knicks frontline of Precious Achiuwa and Isaiah Hartenstein vs. Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green. The Warriors frontcourt duo has been decisive amid the team's turnaround, so limiting their impact will be a priority.
