Expect the entire NBA world to tune into this one. This has NBA Finals potential written all over it. Gilgeous-Alexander and Hartenstein rested the first night of their back-to-back with this game likely in mind. It’s always a show when OKC is in New York. This should be an entertaining contest. Both teams have played some good basketball. The Thunder have had the Knicks’ number in recent years. Think that should continue here. The reigning NBA champions are the better team. They have the pedigree to pull away with an impressive road win in a hostile environment.
Prediction:Â Thunder 121, Knicks 114
