Warriors vs. Knicks is the kind of Thursday-night matchup that usually needs no extra hype — but this one has plenty of it. Golden State is back at Chase Center with momentum, New York arrives as one of the East’s top teams, and the Warriors’ off-court headlines make the spotlight even brighter.
The game tips at 7:00 p.m. PT in San Francisco and will stream on Prime Video. For fans tracking the league schedule, you can also find the official listing on the NBA schedule page.

Golden State comes in fresh off a commanding 119–97 win over Portland, a game they controlled from start to finish. Even with Stephen Curry scoring just seven points, the Warriors had more than enough — powered by a big night from the bench. De’Anthony Melton delivered a season-high 23 points, helping build a cushion that kept the veteran core’s fourth-quarter workload light.
New York, meanwhile, brings a 25–15 record and the aura of a contender — but the Knicks are expected to be without key contributors Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson. That puts extra strain on the remaining starters to create offense, defend without fouling, and survive the Warriors’ pace at home.
Still, the biggest question hovering over Golden State isn’t purely tactical. Jonathan Kuminga became trade-eligible and reportedly asked out, and while he hasn’t played in the Warriors’ past 13 games, it’s the kind of storyline that can shift attention — especially against a marquee opponent. The Warriors’ challenge is simple: block out the noise, keep the ball moving, and play with the same edge that buried Portland.
Projected starters
Warriors: Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Quinten Post
Knicks: Tyler Kolek, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns
