Eight interesting games scheduled for this Monday. In San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors prepare themselves to receive the visit of the New York Knicks. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are listed questionable for tonight, but it's most likely for them to play given the importance of all these remaining games in the fight for going to the playoffs. For the Knicks their main guy will be Jalen Brunson.

The Knicks come into the game looking for a win that would be huge. Tom Thibodeau's squad has won its last three games, holding onto 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 40-27 record. The bad news for New York is that the Orlando Magic are not letting up, as they are also riding a three-game winning streak and are on their heels in 5th place with a 40-28 record.

The Warriors, meanwhile, got a big win against the Lakers that pushed them up to 9th place in the Western Conference with a 35-31 record, overtaking precisely the purple and gold franchise, now 10th with 36-32. The Los Angeles Lakers are also facing tonight an Atlanta Hawks team they should beat, so GSW will have to give their best to overcome the Knicks and not fall back to the last position of the play-in.

Expert predictions (Possible starting lineups and winner)
