Warriors vs. Knicks watch guide: Lineups, injuries and player usage

Share

SAN FRANCISCO -- With the Knicks in town, the Warriors (5-20) have a good chance at doing something they haven't done in weeks: Win a game at Chase Center. 

History is on Golden State's side, as the Warriors have beaten New York 10 straight times, including the last five matchups in the Bay Area.

The Knicks come into Chase Center one week removed from firing head coach David Fizdale under familiar Knick-like circumstances. Since the move, the team has lost their last two games, bringing the league's worst record (4-20) into their only trip to the Bay.

INJURY REPORT

Warriors: Steph Curry (Left- hand fracture), Klay Thompson (Left knee rehabilitation) are out. Eric Paschall (left hip soreness) is questionable. 

Knicks: Kadeem Allen (G League assignment), Reggie Bullock (Cervical disc herniation), Wayne Ellington (Left Achilles soreness), Ivan Rabb (G League assignment)

ROTATION

Warriors: Despite being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, rookie forward Eric Paschall believes he'll play. Paschall's streak of double-figure scoring games ended at 13 on Monday night against the Grizzlies. The Warriors still have one of the league's worst defenses, allowing nearly 114 points per contest. Damion Lee is slated to make his return after a month-long absence, which will cut into Jordan Poole's minutes. After averaging nearly 25 minutes for the season, the rookie guard didn't play in Monday's loss to Memphis, a trend that should continue as he attempts to find his shot. 

Knicks: New York has had its share of turmoil over the last week, firing coach Fizdale after a 4-18 start. The news came weeks after Knicks executives Scott Perry and Steve Mills held a postgame press conference criticizing the coach over a roster they created. Julius Randle is averaging 16.7 points, but shooting just 44 percent from the field as a power forward. 

Officials: Eric Lewis (Crew Chief), Gediminas Petraitis, Lauren Holtkamp
