Golden State Warriors at New York Knicks on Saturday, February 13 looks like a mismatch on paper. Our ratings give the Knicks about a 90% chance, and the Warriors would need an unusual night to change that.
Why the gap is wide
The Win Meter reads the Knicks 90%, with a projected score of Golden State Warriors 108, New York Knicks 122. The rating gap is 282 points in favor of the Knicks, and home court and rest add about 100 rating points for the Knicks on top of that.
A reading this high has real meaning, but upsets of this size happen. Nearly one game in 10 like it goes the other way.
