Parlay odds: +1008
Golden State Warriors -7.5 alt. spread (+134)
The Knicks are in a bad spot right now, having lost 3 in a row and 7 out of their last 10. Playing at MSG hasn’t done them any favors, they have only 5 wins in 14 games this season and they face a Warriors team that is 10-2 vs the Eastern Conference this season and also have the fewest road losses in the NBA. New York will also have to do without RJ Barrett, which will be a big blow to their ambitions. Golden State is 11-2 SU in the last 13 meetings and they’ve covered the spread 4 times in the last 6 between the teams. They are also on a 7-game winning streak against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Stephen Curry to score 30+ points (+200)
Stephen Curry loves the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. In his career he has put up 30 or more 7 times against the Knicks. Last time he visited he scored 37 points, including 7 3-pointers. That was his 2nd game in a row against them with 30 or more points. He enters tonight’s game just 1 made 3-p0inter away from tying Ray Allen for the most all-time and there is no question in my mind he will overtake him and officially become the sport’s greatest shooter. The Knicks rank only 19th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage, allowing 35.3% per game, at home they are even worse at 36.1%, only 6 teams in the NBA allow a higher percentage. Steph is coming off a 26-point effort at Indiana, so hopefully he picks it up a bit and puts on a show in this historic game, not only for him but also for the entire league.
Julius Randle over 9.5 rebounds (-114)
Julius Randle has struggled scoring and shooting in his past 4 games, but rebounding is one stat in which he is still productive. For the season he is averaging exactly 10 per game and in his last 2 outings he had 10 against the Bucks and 14 against the Raptors. For his career against the Warriors he is averaging 10.1 per game in 15 games played. He has collected 10 or more in 3 straight against them and in 7 of the last 8 dating back to his days with the LA Lakers. He has collected 10 or more in 3 of 6 December games, with the Knicks having injury issues at the center position he could be in for another night of cleaning the glass.
