This is an 8* play on Golden State

It's time for the Warriors to wake up and start playing like the Warriors. Tonight's home game against the 10-30 Knicks offers the perfect opportunity for that to happen. The Knicks had to play last night in Portland where they predictably lost by double digits. They're in no shape to compete here. It its true that they have covered three straight games, all on the road, including a win over the Lakers. But this is a team that has lost 14 of its last 16 games. The Lakers did not have LeBron James when the Knicks played them. Before that, the Knicks last SU win in regulation came all the way back on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Obviously, judging from the line here, the SU result is not what we're worried about. Golden State has been a home favorite of more than 12.5 points three times this season. They have covered all three times. After some shaky performances last week, they're rested and ready to blow somebody out. The Knicks happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
