The New York Knicks take on the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Saturday.
The pregame narrative: Jalen Brunson remains sidelined for New York, and I expect OG Anunoby to step up and perform well in his absence. On the other end, look for Steph Curry to catch fire from beyond the arc.
Check out my Knicks vs. Warriors prop picks for March 15.
Knicks vs. Warriors prop picks
Best Bet: Anunoby over 23.5 points and rebounds (-112)
This has all the makings of a smash play.
Anunoby is rolling right now, averaging 21.3 points and 5.9 rebounds (27.2 PR) in his last seven games.
He’s cashed this mark in five of those contests, finishing with no fewer than 19 points and rebounds.
That includes a game against the Warriors on March 5, when Anunoby logged 29 points and three rebounds.
Anunoby is averaging 17.4 field goal attempts during this seven-game stretch, which puts us in a great spot to clear this mark from a volume standpoint. He should keep firing at a high rate with Brunson sidelined.
And the small forward is in a good spot to rack up counting stats tonight as well. He’s had at least seven rebounds in three straight games and is averaging 41.0 minutes per night in March.
For better or worse, Tom Thibodeau loves to run his stars into the ground. That means Anunoby will have plenty of opportunities to stuff the stat sheet.
Key stat: Anunoby has cleared this mark in three of his last four games without Brunson.
Quick pick
Curry 5+ threes (-120): Curry is on fire and has a Grade-A matchup against the Knicks.
- New York has the second-worst 3-point defence in the NBA (37.4%).
- Since the all-star break, Curry is averaging 4.7 threes on 10.9 attempts (43.3%).
Curry has cleared this mark in eight of his last nine games against the Knicks, going 4-for-13 from deep in the outlier.
He went 5-for-9 against them earlier this month and I expect even more volume on Saturday.
