Warriors and Knicks Face Off in Big Apple
The Golden State Warriors take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.

The Warriors (22-5) have experienced a couple of rare stumbles in the last five games, but they'll check into Tuesday's interconference clash with three wins over the last four contests. Golden State's most recent success came Monday night, when they notched a 102-100 comeback win over the Indiana Pacers. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 26 points, adding six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Draymond Green furnished 15 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Andrew Wiggins matched Green's scoring tally and also recorded five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal. Kevon Looney tallied 14 points, eight boards and three assists. Otto Porter delivered 10 points and six rebounds.

The Warriors will come into Tuesday's game without any short-term injuries to report.

The Knicks (12-15) are seemingly a shadow of their early-season selves, as they'll check into Tuesday's game with losses in six of their last seven contests. Their most recent stumble came Sunday afternoon, when they fell to the Milwaukee Bucks by a 112-97 score. Quentin Grimes led the Knicks with 27 points, supplementing them with three rebounds, three assists and three steals. Derrick Rose and Kevin Knox produced matching 18-point contributions, with Rose also recording seven assists and Knox pulling down five rebounds. Immanuel Quickley furnished 11 points, five assists, two steals and one rebound.

The Knicks will be without RJ Barrett and Obi Toppin due to COVID-19 protocols Tuesday.

Tuesday's contest marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The two squads split the two-game 2020-21 season series.
