The New York Knicks are 2-0 on their Western Conference road trip, and their next two stops could be the toughest. After a Saturday night battle in Sacramento, New York is in Golden State to take on the Warriors.
The Knicks are a half-game ahead of the Magic in the standings and need to build on that lead to ensure they'll have homecourt advantage in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Warriors are fighting to stay in Play-In Tournament range. Given how tight the Western Conference is, Golden State could even luck into a top-six seed.
Monday night's game in San Francisco will be a battle between two of the top All-Star guards in the league. Jalen Brunson has scored 42 and 45 points on the road trip thus far. What will he do against the Warriors?
