The New York Knicks have won 3 of their last 4 games and will now look to try to get one over the defending champions, as they head to Chase Center for a date with the Warriors. Tip-off is live at 10:00 pm ET on ESPN, and I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay for this exciting matchup. There are a total of 11 games being played this Friday, so head over to our NBA Predictions page for picks on the side and total for every single one of them. But for now, let’s dive into our Knicks vs Warriors Same Game Parlay.
New York Knicks +7 (-110)
Julius Randle over 21.5 points (-106)
Draymond Green to record 6+ rebounds (-260)
Andrew Wiggins 2+ made threes (-220)
Parlay odds: +607
New York Knicks +7 over Golden State Warriors (-110)
I was actually debating between backing the Knicks on the Money Line, but in the end, I settled for them to cover the 7-point spread. This team has been really solid on the road lately, winning both at Utah and Denver in their last 2 games. The 145 points they allowed last Sunday against OKC at home was a wake-up call, and I’m liking what I’ve seen from them since then. They also have a pretty decent track record in head-to-head meetings against the Warriors covering in 5 of their last 6 visits to Chase Center. Against Western Conference teams, they are currently on a streak of 10-2 ATS in their last 12 outings.
Golden State has a ton of issues right now. Most of them are masked with Stephen Curry scoring 50 points, but even that wasn’t enough to beat the Phoenix Suns the other day. They just send James Wiseman to the G-League, while Klay Thompson is really struggling with his shot. Yes, they are 6-1 in home games this season, but they are far from the team we saw dominate in the playoffs last season. Give me the Knicks to cover here.
Julius Randle over 21.5 points (-106)
Randle leads the team in scoring this season, averaging 21.3 points per game on 46.5% shooting from the field. His numbers have gone up over the past 10 games, as he’s averaging 22.5 per game on 47.4% shooting. Against the Nuggets on Wednesday, he scored 34 which was the 3rd time in his last 5 games that he’s cleared this line. I expect the Warriors to throw Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson at him tonight, and he should be able to overpower both of those matchups. In his last 8 games against the Warriors, he is averaging 22.5 points and has gone over 21.5 in 6 of those games. During that stretch, his three-point shot has also been lethal as he’s knocking down 55.6% of his attempts. If the Knicks are to get a result tonight, Randle will have to deliver here.

Draymond Green to record 6+ rebounds (-260)
If we disregard the last game against Phoenix in which he had just 2 boards, Green has been fairly consistent this season when cleaning the glass for the Dubs. He has upped his average from 6 to 6.3 in the month of November and in 7 games played he’s cleared this line 5 times already. The Knicks have really struggled with rebounding all season long, and this team just doesn’t have the personnel to cope with the size of other teams. That’s resulted in them ranking just 28th in opponent rebounds per game. They are giving up 55.8 rebounds a game and on the road that jumps up to 58.6. I’m expecting Draymond to take full advantage of that — he has had double-digit rebounds in 4 of the last 5 games played against New York.

Andrew Wiggins 2+ made threes (-220)
Outside of Curry, Andrew Wiggins might be the most consistent option on offense the Warriors have had this season. He’s 2nd on the team averaging 18 points per game, at home that number jumps up to 20 per game. In his last 10 games, he’s shooting the three-ball extremely well at 43.4% efficiency and right now he’s on a streak of 3 games in a row knocking down at least 2 threes. In the month of November, he’s failed to score 2 threes only once in 7 games played, so I am very optimistic he can continue his solid run tonight.
The Knicks are giving up 40.2% from three over their last 3 games and with their entire focus on trying to slow down Curry, I think players like Wiggins and Poole will benefit the most from getting open looks. We only need Wiggins to knock down a pair, I think he’s able to do so with ease.
