The New York Knicks will head to the Paycom Center to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA on Sunday night. OKC (58-16) lead the Western Conference standings, while the Knicks (48-26) are third in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back from their loss to the Celtics with a commanding 131-113 victory over the Bulls on Friday, marking their 18th win in their last 21 games.
OKC look in great shape heading into the Playoffs. They have the best defensive rating in the NBA by a distance and have all of their key players healthy, led by the MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Thunder are 30-6 at home, and maintaining top spot is now the main goal to guarantee home advantage throughout the Playoffs. Thomas Sorber is the only absentee for the hosts.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks will be looking to get back in the win column here after seeing their seven-game win streak brought to an end, 114-103 by the Hornets on Thursday.
The Knicks are a top-five team on both ends this season. However, they have not been great against the best teams, and we feel they will struggle to replicate last season’s run to the Eastern Conference finals.
New York are 20-17 on the road but have lost eight of their last 10 games against this opponent. Landry Shamet is out, and Miles McBride is a doubt.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks Prediction
While the Oklahoma City Thunder have not been anywhere close to as profitable as they were last season in terms of covering numbers, it’s tough to go against them at home, where they’ve only lost six games this season.
The Knicks are not the same team on the road as they are at MSG, and they do not pass the eye test for us either. The Thunder have to keep winning games to maintain top spot, and we feel they will deliver a big performance in this one. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks prediction is Oklahoma City Thunder -5.5.
