The Thunder will be without Thomas Sorber, Branden Carlson, Jalen Williams, and Ajay Mitchell. Isaiah Hartenstein and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are questionable.
Knicks vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are usually going to get the benefit of the doubt, but with both teams on the end of a back-to-back, I usually lean toward the home team. OKC has a boatload of injuries and who knows if Hartenstein and SGA are going to play. Also, the Knicks are 23-8 SU at home. It’s hard to turn down points with the Knicks at home this season. This is similar to the Knicks-Spurs game over the weekend, which we cashed with the Knicks in the underdog role. The Knicks are 3-0 ATS and SU in their last 3 games as a home dog. Give me the points.
