Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks: Current situation
Entering 2025 the Thunder have only one wish and that is to have their starting center Chet Holmgren back from the hip injury which has caused him to miss over a month of action. Even without the big fella, they are still winning games by an average of 15.1 points per game during this win streak. SGA has elevated his game and if the Thunder continue winning at this pace he will have a strong case to win his first regular season MVP award.
The Knicks currently don’t have a player in the MVP discussion despite ranking 3rd in the East and having the 2nd longest active win streak. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though, that only means that they have stronger individual players at more positions. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges have made seamless transitions to New York and this team is looking like a real force in the Eastern Conference.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
The Thunder have put the league on notice with this current 12 game win streak. After beating the 2nd best team in the West by 24 points, they proceeded to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-105 just a couple of days after. The game was won on the defensive end as OKC recoded 16 steals, forcing the Timberwolves to turn the ball over 23 times. SGA was once again unreal with his 40 points and 15-for-23 shooting from the field.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
Karl-Anthony Towns had 32 to lead the Knicks in their last game as they beat the Washington Wizards for the 2nd game in a row. All 5 Knicks starters scored in double figures, while as a team they recoded 34 assists and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds. Playing the right way will result in a win more often than not, New York is now a reliable 13-6 SU in 19 road games.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks: Head-to-Head

Oddly enough, New York has averaged more rebounds per game in those 10 meetings, but the Thunder are shooting 7% better from the field which has been the difference maker.

Betting tip and prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks (03.01.2025)
Oklahoma City and the Knicks are two of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, having won a combined 21 games in a row. Not a lot has separated these two teams over the past 10 or so games, but we would still give a slight edge to the Oklahoma City in this game. They do have home court advantage here, plus their three-ball has been slightly more consistent than the Knicks’ one. New York has also had a somewhat softer schedule with their last 3 games being against Washington (twice) and Utah. In 2 of their last 4 games they failed to make 10 threes, in order to compete with the Thunder you almost have to play a perfect game offensively, while also containing the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the rest of the hungry thunder. Speaking of SGA, he is currently on a roll averaging 34.5 points per game over his last 10 outings, while shooting an insane 57.1% from the field and a very respectable 40.7% from three. He just dropped 35 and 40 against Memphis and Minnesota, two teams that are right up there defensively with the Knicks. New York has been solid during this win streak, but the Thunder are just playing at a different level right now. We are taking the home team in this one.
