The New York Knicks will host the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Here is how to watch this NBA game online via live streaming.
The first Monday after the All-Star break will feature 20 NBA teams, including the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks, who will face off for the second and final time this season.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST on February 26, 2018 at Madison Square Garden in New York. MSG Network will air the Knicks broadcast while the Warriors feed will run on NBC Sports Bay Area. The game will also be picked up by NBA TV and can be streamed online via FuboTV.
The Knicks (24-37) have lost nine of their last 10 games, and do not appear due for an upswing. In a year that will feature close to a third of the league tanking down the stretch, New York will have to play monumentally bad basketball in its remaining 21 games in order to contend for a top-three pick. Even then, cobbling together enough losses to sink below the league’s very worst will be difficult, as New York is six wins up on several teams tied at 18 wins.
The Warriors, meanwhile, have the exact opposite motivation going down the stretch of the season. By virtue of Houston’s recent hot stretch and its own unmotivated play prior to the All-Star break, Golden State has jostled with the Rockets for Western Conference supremacy, and may be in danger of missing out on the top seed in the playoffs.

Golden State has not been sharp relative to its own lofty standards. Still, the widespread expectation is that the Warriors will ramp up their intensity and focus as the playoffs draw nearer. They rank ninth in defense and second in offense, both areas in which this team is capable of being the best in the league. The end of the season will represent an opportunity for Golden State to find its stride once again before it starts to matter again.
