⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Warriors, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line movement toward the home team despite high public percentage. Following the public is optimal here, as contextual factors like the Knicks’ missing Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson create a clear mathematical edge without contrarian signals. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate-paced affair around 229 points, with Warriors’ offensive rating (115.2) clashing against Knicks’ defense but tempered by back-to-back fatigue for New York.
