Thunder vs Knicks Prediction

The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 6 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder are coming off a terrible season where they dealt with a lot of injuries to their starting players but they are all back healthy for this season and have really taken some big steps to improving in their first few games this season. The Thunder had one of the best ATS records in the NBA last season and they are already off to another decent start as they are 7-5 ATS this season and 5-7 straight up. The Knicks started the season playing well but they are also a team that was dealing with a lot of last season which caused them to miss the playoffs, and already those issues have been starting to creep up again as they are only 6-6 overall now. The Knicks have been struggling lately and the Thunder will play hard all night to keep this game close with their young talent. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
“He’s competitive and he wants to prove himself, and he gets amped up and tries to force something. He did a really good job tonight in just letting the offense work for him, and he ends up getting open looks.” - Mark Daigneault after his team’s win against the Raptors in their game on Friday.
