This season, the Warriors rank 16th in scoring, averaging 113 points per game, and excelled in rebounding, sitting fourth with 46 boards per game. They were also fourth in assists with 29.1 but ranked 10th in scoring defense, allowing 111.4 points.
New York staged an impressive comeback to defeat Miami in overtime on Sunday, marking their third straight victory.
Entering Monday night, the Knicks had a 40-20 record, were second in the Atlantic Division, 2.5 games behind the Celtics, and were third in the Eastern Conference. They were also in a secure playoff position.
Despite trailing by as many as 19 points in the third quarter, the Knicks rallied, narrowing the gap to six and forcing overtime after a 24-18 fourth quarter.
In the extra period, they scored 9-3 in the final moments to clinch the win. New York shot 48.4% from the field and won the rebounding battle 46-34, led by Jalen Brunson’s 31 points, five rebounds, and six assists.
While the Knicks are at home, this feels like a great spot for the Warriors. Take them to cover the 4-point spread in this one.

Total Points Over 231.5 -110 -110 -115 Under 231.5 -110 -110 -105
The Warriors might be without some veteran players as they complete a back-to-back. It’s uncertain who will take the court, as the NBA often lists players as questionable until the last moment.
For the season, the Knicks rank fifth in scoring offense with 117.6 points per game despite being 24th in rebounding. Brunson (26.1 points, 7.4 assists) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24.5 points, 13.4 rebounds) are their primary scorers.

— NEW YORK KNICKS (@nyknicks) March 4, 2025
The team boasts a strong field goal percentage of 49.3%, ranks sixth in three-point shooting at 37.2%, and stands fourth in free-throw percentage, converting 80.3% of their attempts.
Given Steve Kerr’s comments, I anticipate Butler participating in this game, although Curry might be rested or limited in his minutes.
Butler had a good game against the Hornets on Monday night. He scored 13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
The Warriors sit at 16th in offensive rating and employ a more deliberate style and defensive strategy with Butler’s presence. Consider taking the under in this matchup.
Defense is always overlooked in these marquee matchups. I’d take Under 231.5 points in this one.
