Warriors Host Knicks in Key Matchup as Playoff Races Heat Up

Golden State seeks to extend its six-game win streak while New York adjusts to life without Jalen Brunson.

The Golden State Warriors (38-28) currently sit in sixth place in the Western Conference and aim to avoid the NBA Play-in Tournament with a seventh consecutive win.
The New York Knicks (42-23), holding the third seed in the Eastern Conference, are navigating challenges after losing Jalen Brunson to an ankle injury last week.
Stephen Curry has been in exceptional form, recently becoming the first player to make 4,000 career three-pointers and averaging 28.7 points over the last 15 games.
Jimmy Butler's acquisition has propelled the Warriors, who are 13-2 since his arrival, with Butler contributing significantly to their offensive and defensive success.
The Knicks, led by Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, are on a two-game win streak but face a tough test against a red-hot Warriors team at Chase Center tonight.
