The New York Knicks (6-5) won’t have it easy on Saturday night as they hit the road to take on the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder (10-2).
Oklahoma City has been bet up to -11.5 after opening up at -10.5 despite the fact that 60% of tracked NBA wagers are coming in on the Knicks.
The total of 193.5 hasn’t budged much even though these two teams have combined to go under their lines in 15 of 23 games.
The Knicks have covered the betting odds in just 2 of their last 7 games this season, but they had won 4 straight outright before dropping an 83-94 game on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies most recently.
New York is known as a run-and-gun team that scores a ton of points while not playing much defense, but the Knicks have actually gone under the total in 8 of their last 10 games this season.
Oklahoma City is on a 5-game winning streak currently, and they’ve been exceeding the odds makers expectations with 4 of their last 5 games covering the spread.
Although the Thunder have gone under the total in 5 of their last 7, it is interesting to note that they’ve been getting their offense going recently and have gone over in 2 of their last 3 contests this year.
