The Thunder have won 14 out of their last 15 games and are coming into this one in splendid form. The Knicks have also done well for themselves and are 7-3 over their last 10. However, the Thunder got the win over the Knicks during their last meeting. Their defense is simply too good and the team is almost unstoppable on offense when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on the floor. We believe that the Thunder will register another win over the Knicks tonight.
