New York are the 8th ranked defence in the league but in individual games they have taken some big hits, none more recently than the 139 put on them by the Bulls following the 117 that OKC scored in their first matchup of the season.
Based off those performances and the scoring ability of the Thunder it is safe to say there will be a ton of points scored. OKC are averaging 114.4 points per game with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the scoring with 31.3 pts per game to go with 5.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists. He has scored 30+ in 7 of his last 10 games including three 40+ point games.
New York have some defensive pieces but they don’t have enough to lock SGA down as well as take care of the other contributors on the team. The Thunder kept the Knicks to 9-32 from 3pt range last game proving they can match it on the defensive end.
Take OKC to win and cover as favourites with the total going Over. Isaiah Hartenstein had 14 rebounds last game against the Knicks, take his overs.
- OKC are 8-2 straight up and 7-3 ATS against New York in their last 10 meetings.
- 7 of the last 10 games between these teams have gone Over the Game Total.
- The previous matchup went under by the smallest of margins with NY shooting 9-32 from deep.
- Isaiah Hartenstein had 14 rebounds last game against NY and is averaging 12.1 on the season.

Oklahoma City Thunder Form
OKC had their 15 game (excl. NBA Cup final) win streak snapped last start by the league leading Cleveland Cavaliers, going down 129-122 on the road. They are now 30-6 on the season with 4 of those losses coming away from home.
They will have another chance to beat the Cavs at home in a week’s time but need to get through the rest of this eastern conference trip first with the Knicks next up.
The Thunder won 117-107 against New York just a week ago at home led by MVP favourite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who top scored with 33 points. The Knicks played just 8 players in the matchup with a total of 5 points coming from their bench.
OKC are still the 2nd best defensive team in the league despite giving up a season high 129 points to their opponent in Cleveland.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
Alex Caruso is still out as is Ajay Mitchell. Chet Holmgren will be re-evaluated in the coming week or 2.
New York Knicks Form
New York snapped a three game losing streak on Wednesday which started with their loss against Oklahoma City a week ago. The 112-98 victory pushed their season record to 25-13 keeping them third in the East 8.5 games behind the Cavs.
They are the second best home team in the East with a 68% win rate (13-6) but are 4-3 in their last 7 games at MSG.
In the matchup with OKC a week ago coach Tom Thibodeau used just 8 players which is something rarely seen during the regular season by most teams but has become almost the norm for Thibs coached teams. The top 3 and 4 of the top 7 leaders in minutes per game are all Knicks players.
New York are 7th in scoring with an average of 117 points per game with the 4th best 3pt% in the NBA.
New York Knicks Team News
Miles McBride and Karl-Anthony Towns are both listed as questionable.
Verdict
Take OKC to win and cover as favourites with the total going Over. Isaiah Hartenstein had 14 rebounds last game against the Knicks, take his overs.
