New York +163 over Oklahoma City

Madison Square Garden – New York, NY

7:30 PM ET. Backing the Knicks at Madison Square Garden usually comes with a premium, but not tonight. The Thunder have been one of the NBA’s most profitable teams this season, sitting at 24-10-3 ATS, and the market reflects their dominance. Oklahoma City took care of the Knicks just a week ago, winning by 10 as a four-point favorite. Now, in the rematch, the Thunder are just three-point road chalk—a clear indication that the oddsmakers aren’t sold on a repeat performance.

New York’s 12-5 record at home and +10.2-point average margin of victory at MSG are hard to ignore. The Knicks have thrived on their home court, and the shift in venue from Oklahoma City to Manhattan is significant. While the Thunder boast one of the league’s top defenses, the Knicks are no slouches themselves, ranking top-10 in scoring defense and dominating the boards.

This game is all about possessions, and the Knicks’ physicality gives them a slight edge in a matchup that feels closer to a coin flip than the odds suggest. The Thunder are getting all the respect, but the Knicks are the more efficient team offensively, and they’ve shown they can dictate the pace at home. Knickerbockers outright.
