The last time the Golden State Warriors went on the road to play the New York Knicks, Stephen Curry broke the NBA’s all-time three-point record held by Ray Allen.
This time around on Tuesday though, the Warriors will be without Curry when they take on the Knicks, as the Warriors’ superstar continues to heal and recover from a left shoulder injury suffered last week.
In his absence, Golden State will be searching for answers on how to remain one of the top offensive teams in the league, but the answer seemed pretty clear in their last game – Give Jordan Poole the ball!
Against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, Poole scored a career-high 43 points on 14-23 shooting, 5-11 from three-point range, to help the Warriors secure their third road win of the season.
Between Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson, the Warriors should continue to be a strong three-point shooting team, but others like Donte DiVincenzo and Jonathan Kuminga will have to continue to step up in big moments with Curry sidelined.
On the other side of things, everything has been going well for the Knicks, as they have won their last seven games and currently own the league’s top win streak right now.
Jalen Brunson has proven to be a massive upgrade for New York offensively and RJ Barrett has started to get going in recent games, as he is averaging 22.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game over the team’s last seven games.
New York is a physical team that has really worn down their opponents in recent games, so the Warriors will have their hands full in the city that never sleeps on Tuesday night.
Can the Warriors get their second consecutive road win, snapping the longest winning streak in the league or will the Knicks make it eight straight wins?
Here is how to watch Tuesday night’s game with game time and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
