The Oklahoma City Thunder will aim to rebound from a recent loss when they visit the New York Knicks on Friday. Boasting a 30-6 record, the Thunder are comfortably atop the Northwest Division, leading the Denver Nuggets by nine games. However, their impressive 15-game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday night with a 129-122 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the centerpiece of Oklahoma City’s offense, leading the team in both scoring and assists with averages of 31.3 points and 6.1 assists per game. Jalen Williams, the team’s second-leading scorer and top rebounder, averages 20.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per contest. Four Thunder players are averaging double figures in scoring, contributing to their robust 115.1 points per game. On the other side, the New York Knicks will seek their second straight win after a 112-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. The Knicks, who are 25-13 and second in the Atlantic Division, trail the first-place Boston Celtics by 2.5 games. Karl-Anthony Towns played a pivotal role in the win, posting 27 points and 13 rebounds. Jalen Brunson leads the Knicks in scoring and assists, averaging 25.3 points and 7.6 assists per game, while Towns adds 25.2 points and a team-high 14.0 rebounds. With five players averaging double figures, the Knicks score 117.2 points per game and excel in offensive efficiency, shooting 49.7% overall and 37.9% from beyond the arc.

Our New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
New York’s offense ranks third in the league’s offensive rating, powered by elite shooting efficiency at all levels. However, their Achilles’ heel is drawing fouls, ranking just 21st in free throw attempts per game. Despite their offensive prowess, the Knicks have also made strides defensively, ranking 14th in defensive rating. A deliberate pace helps limit opponents’ scoring, as they allow the eighth-fewest points per game. However, weaknesses remain in forcing turnovers and defending the three-point line. Oklahoma City has already demonstrated its ability to challenge New York’s strengths. In their previous matchup, the Thunder limited the Knicks to just nine three-pointers on 32 attempts while holding them to 17 free throws and 11 offensive rebounds. Despite losing the turnover battle, Oklahoma City won that game by 10 points. With their potent offense and strong defensive discipline, the Thunder are poised to bounce back and secure another victory at Madison Square Garden. Our prediction for Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New York Knicks: Thunder to win.
