In Tuesday’s marquee NBA matchup, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors visit the New York Knicks.
The pregame narrative: Curry at Madison Square Garden is a show I wish I had tickets to. I expect the all-time great to cash a 3s milestone, and I’m also looking for OG Anunoby to chip in as a scorer on the Knicks’ side.
Check out my Warriors vs. Knicks prop picks for March 4.
Warriors vs. Knicks prop picks
Best Bet: Curry 5+ threes (-130)
Curry is on a 3-point binge right now, which makes this hefty total attainable.
Here’s what Curry’s 3-point production has looked like over the past month:
- 5.3 makes/game
- 13.5 attempts/game
- 39.5 3PT%
- 5+ threes in 8 of 12 games
Curry is averaging 4.4 threes this season, which leads the NBA. Everybody knows he wants to heave it from long range, and yet he’s still generating plenty of quality looks.
Mitchell Robinson returned to the Knicks’ lineup two games ago, and the 7-footer gives them a defensive boost around the rim. That should also entice Curry to stay active from deep.
Curry has attempted 13-plus 3s in five straight games against the Knicks, averaging 5.4 makes on 14.8 attempts in that span.
Given his track record in this matchup, along with his recent high-volume run, I expect Curry to have every opportunity to cash in tonight.
Key stat: The Knicks allow the highest opponent 3PT% in the NBA (37.6).
Quick pick
Anunoby over 16.5 points (-122): Robinson isn’t the only form of reinforcements for the Knicks. Anunoby returned about two weeks ago after a six-game absence and quickly got back to game speed.
The ex-Raptor has attempted at least 15 shots in three straight games. His points totals in those matchups are 16, 19 and 23.
With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) listed as questionable tonight, Anunoby could be called upon for another hearty offensive workload. And this matchup is built for him.
Golden State allows the second-most points per game to opposing power forwards (24.44), per Betting Pros.
Also, the Warriors yield the seventh-highest 3PT% on corner 3s (39.9%), according to Cleaning the Glass. Anunoby ranks in the 80th percentile for attempted corner 3s.
