Season series: First meeting; split last season 1-1
The Dubs squeaked by, ATS-wise at least, against the Washington Wizards Tuesday night with a 123-112 victory as 10.5-point favorites. G Stephen Curry had an atrocious shooting night. He was held scoreless in the 1st half for the 1st time since 2012, and he didn’t hit his 1st bucket until there were 53 seconds to go in the 3rd. He salvaged his night with 18 points but shot 4-for-16 from 3. The rest of the team shot a ridiculous 17-for-30 from deep. The Warriors are 8-2 over the last 10.
The Knicks are reeling, just 3-7 over the last 10, and an even more alarming 2-5 at home during the stretch. The New Orleans Pelicans punked them 115-92 Tuesday without G Jalen Brunson. He’s questionable for this one with a neck issue as he’s clearly wearing down from carrying this team.
