Elfrid Payton vs Stephen Curry
Elfrid Payton and the New York Knicks are going to have their hands full as they attempt to contain the greatest sharpshooter in league history when the Warriors roll out with their floor general in Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry is averaging an impressive 28.1 points off 44% shooting from the floor. If the former regular season MVP can get into his rhythm, it's hard to see how New York Knicks come out of this match with a win.
