If this game is even remotely as entertaining as their first game, which ended on a missed 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have sent the game into overtime, we could be in for a thriller. The sportsbooks don’t seem to think that will happen, however, with the Thunder listed as 8.5-point favorites at home. That’s just more of the same to the Thunder, who routinely have been double-digit favorites all season, regardless of their opponent, but it would be the biggest spread for the Knicks as underdogs this season if the line remains at 8.5.There is arguably no team in basketball more confounding than the Knicks.

They’ve been playing like a team that is just ready to get to the playoffs, and they’ll get a taste of that tonight in OKC.The Thunder are finally getting healthy and trying to round themselves into playoff form over the final two weeks of the regular season. Their depth and defense have carried them all season, and they can survive poor shooting nights because they force so many turnovers and get easy points. That said, sportsbooks have been pricing Thunder lines high because they know the public will bite. They don’t cover the spread as favorites nearly as much as one would expect from the best team in the NBA. The Knicks have had two days to stew on their loss to the Hornets, and I expect we’ll see the version of the team that is motivated. If that’s the case, this line is just too high in the Thunder’s favor. I’ll take the points.Malik Smith has been immersed in the sports betting industry since 2017.
