Oklahoma City Thunder at New York Knicks Preview & Picks

Oklahoma City are tipped to bounce back from the streak-ending loss in Cleveland.

The Thunder dropped a close one with the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers, but we have seen more than enough to believe they can bounce back in the 'Big Apple'.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 15-1 in their last 16 games
  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 games
  • New York Knicks are 1-3-0 ATS in their previous 4 games
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Oklahoma City's last 4 games

Head To Head

  • Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 74-68
  • Oklahoma City Thunder won 117-107 when the two teams last met on January 3

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to the ‘Big Apple’ on the back of a defeat that ended their 15-game win streak.

The Thunder began December with a 119-116 defeat in Houston, but responded in emphatic fashion as they embarked on their best run of the season.

They reeled off 15 consecutive victories with three of them coming in the NBA Cup, which they won by downing the Rockets, 111-96, in Las Vegas.

Oklahoma City’s tear also featured a 105-92 victory when they played host to defending NBA champions Boston.

The Thunder failed to make it 16 wins in a row however, as they were beaten 129-122 in Cleveland on Wednesday night.

New York Knicks Form

New York enter this matchup looking to build on Wednesday night’s win over Toronto, which ended a three-game skid.

The Knicks enjoyed a great run of form over the Christmas and New Year period as they put together nine straight wins.

That run was halted last Friday though, as they lost 117-107 to Oklahoma City on the road.

New York then lost 139-126 in Chicago, before returning home for a 103-94 defeat at the hands of Orlando.

The Knicks avoided a fourth consecutive loss however, as they downed Toronto, 112-98, on Wednesday night.

Verdict

A defeat to Cleveland does little to deflate our confidence in this Oklahoma City team.

The 30-6 Thunder are more than capable of bouncing back at the first attempt, and their tremendous recent spread record suggests they will cover in the process.
