The Golden State Warriors (15-16) recently broke a three-game losing skid with a 126-110 win over the Toronto Raptors. Their opponents tonight, the New York Knicks (17-13), have found their groove recently and are coming into tonight's game on a seven-game winning streak.
The Warriors have struggled to live up to their success from last season thus far. They endured a five-game losing skid earlier this season as well and have struggled to maintain any consistency on the court. The Knicks, meanwhile, have a lot of momentum right now and are the strongest they have been all season.

Warriors vs. Knicks Prediction
The Warriors have one a mere three road games so far this season. Tonight, they'll be playing without team MVP Stephen Curry, who is unlikely to play again for one month. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson in particular looked sharp on offense in the team's much-needed win over the Raptors. That being said, between the Warriors' road game misfortunes and Curry's extended absence, things aren't looking great for the Oakland crew tonight.
The Knicks, meanwhile, are surging right now with exceptional defense. Unlike the Warriors, they've looked strong on the road lately. At home, the Knicks have a more mediocre 7-7 record but have shown consistency by winning their past three consecutive home games. It's likely going to be a highly competitive game tonight, but ultimately, the Knicks have what it takes to send the home crowd home happy.
Prediction: Knicks -4.5 (-110)
