The Warriors have lost consecutive road games in frustrating fashion that included poor late-game execution and the tiring antics of supposed "leader" Draymond Green. On Tuesday, they welcome the return of Steph Curry and also will reportedly have the services of big men James Wiseman and Kevon Looney. The announcement of the latter likely caused the half-point spread jump but this should still be a solid spot for the Warriors. the Knicks won the first matchup in the Bay Area but gritty center Mitchell Robinson, who was the difference in that contest, remains sidelined by a broken wrist.

I was waiting to see if Steph Curry, James Wiseman and to a lesser extent Kevon Looney were all officially back Tuesday night for the Dubs and they are -- still not a fan of giving a solid New York team 3.5 points, though, so we'll use the moneyline and hope Curry isn't a last-minute scratch like he was Saturday in Charlotte. Curry had a 54-point game at Madison Square Garden on 11-for-13 from deep earlier in his career (see news feed story). Stars get jacked up playing at the world's most famous arena, even with no fans.

Two of the league's best three teams in Opposing Effective Field Goal Percentage over the last 30 days match up here. New York is 21-10 under this season (68 percent). The Knicks are scoring and allowing 103.5 points per game. Golden State is 10-5 under vs. the Eastern Conference. Pace wise, New York is dead last over the last 30 days, at 93.4 possessions per game,
