If You’re Waiting On The Thunder To Blink… Don’t

Madison Square Garden has a way of interrogating young teams. The building doesn’t ask politely. It demands answers. For decades, the arena at Madison Square…

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #64 Preview: New York Knicks

The Oklahoma City Thunder wrap up a 3-game road trip with a matchup against the Knicks in New York on Wednesday night. The game is the second half of a back-to-back for both teams, and both the Thunder and the Knicks are coming off wins.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Given Slight Edge in Road SEGABABA against Knicks

After sitting out last night due to injury management, I expect Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Hartenstein both to be available tonight. If that is the case, I like the Thunder’s odds to win this one by a reasonable margin. OKC has a better offense, a better defense, and better chemistry. I think the Thunder matches up really well with the Knicks, particularly because of OKC’s depth, and when it comes down to the final minutes, I think Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a better closer. I’m taking the Thunder to cover.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #63 Preview: Chicago Bulls

After missing 9 games with a strained abdominal injury, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made his return to action last Friday night. After playing just two games, he’ll sit out on Tuesday night—along with Isaiah Hartenstein—as the Oklahoma City Thunder takes on the Bulls in Chicago in the first game of a back-to-back. SGA and IHart are sitting due to injury management, though, so there is no cause for concern. Instead, OKC is continuing to manage injuries and monitor the health of the squad down this final stretch of the NBA season.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Takes on Bulls in Chicago as Double-Digit Favorite Despite No SGA, IHart

This line is several points closer than it would be under normal circumstances, but with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Hartenstein sitting out on the first night of a back-to-back, it makes sense. Even without those guys out—and Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell still awaiting return—I’m a big fan of the Thunder covering this one. Chicago finally ended their 11-game losing streak on Sunday, but the Bulls have been blown out plenty in the last month, and I expect that to happen again tonight.
