New York Knicks vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The New York Knicks are attractive in the underdog role because they compete and usually find themselves in games regardless of result. However, the Knicks are still banged up, and that includes possibly not having Anunoby due to an elbow issue. For the first time in a while, the Warriors don't have a single player on their injury report. The Warriors beat the Knicks on the road by 11 points about three weeks ago. At the Chase Center, I'd need more points to seriously consider the Knicks. Give me the Warriors and the more than reasonable line.
