A fast-paced basketball game is predicted, where the shooters from both teams will have the opportunity to showcase all their talents. The visitors approach the game without Butler, but Curry is capable of leading the attack. We are in for a thrilling showdown that will not leave the "Madison Square Garden" crowd indifferent.

Head-to-head statistics New York - Golden State
New York Knicks Team Overview
New York has overcome a minor crisis and secured three consecutive victories - against Miami (116:112), Memphis (114:113), and Philadelphia (110:105). We predict that Thibodeau's team will approach the game with maximum responsibility. First and foremost, this should be reflected in the quality of their offense. On average, the Knicks score 117.6 points per game. Since Towns, Brunson, and Bridges are fully healthy, one can expect a very diverse basketball game on the opponent's half. Especially at home. Their shooting efficiency is not lacking - 49.3% overall and 37.2% from three-point range. However, in the fast-paced basketball that is very likely, there may also be issues. Against Golden State, it will be difficult to defend - there are challenges in the front line, and Brunson himself is a target for the opponent's attacks. This is also reflected in the metrics: New York struggles with steals (19th), blocks (29th), and rebounds (24th). In such circumstances, they need to maximize the play of their leaders and rely on their momentum. In theory, this is possible. They have victories over top opponents under their belt.

Golden State Warriors Team Overview
Golden State will play without Butler. Additionally, Kuminga remains in the infirmary. The Warriors' offensive magic might diminish a bit. However, Stephen Curry is still one of the best point guards and shooters of the last decade. The offensive play will be entirely on him, and with the good form of other players, this could turn into a decent offense. Even in the setback against Philadelphia (119:126), the attack was operating at a respectable level. Prior to that, they managed to defeat Orlando (121:115), Charlotte (128:92), and Dallas (126:102). Playing away games is a certain challenge for young basketball players. But having veterans like Curry and Green could help maintain focus. Excellent combinations (29.1 assists, 3rd) should penetrate New York's defense. Additionally, the team is good at rebounds (3rd) and confidently goes for steals (5th). So, the average figure of 113 points could very well be repeated.

Editorial Prediction
Both teams have excellent offense. Don't be misled by the fact that the average total of games involving the Warriors is only 224.4 points. It's fair to say that a new era began for the visitors in February with the addition of a second full-fledged star to the lineup. Basketball becomes entirely different: even without Butler on the court, the team should feel differently. The games have become more high-scoring. New York is a very versatile and well-attacking team. At MSG, Brunson and company are unlikely to lower their standards abruptly. We expect full commitment and maximum creativity. It's hard to pick a clear favorite in this matchup. Our editorial team suggests believing in the supremacy of offense. We take total over 219.5 points.
