Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Takes on Knicks at Home as Solid Favorite
With just a handful of games remaining and OKC just now getting to full strength, it feels like Mark Daigneault needs to tighten up the rotation a bit. The Thunder doesn’t have many weak opponents remaining, which is actually kind of a good test ahead of the playoffs. I think we see some heavier minutes for key guys tonight, and I like OKC to cover, even if it is down the stretch due to some extra free throws.

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.
