🤔 Thunder vs. Knicks Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 3/4

It’s felt like we’ve said it quite often recently, but yes, this truly is another potential NBA Finals preview. That said, it’s not exactly a perfect scenario to get the best of the best on the court. We say that simply because both teams were just in action last night. It’s likely why we weren’t able to make any NBA expert picks on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

OKC ruled him out against the Chicago Bulls last night to manage his abdominal injury, and we expect that was the case, so that he would be available for THIS game instead. His status will obviously be a major factor in any Thunder vs. Knicks predictions. Regardless, OKC was able to take down the Bulls without him.

As for New York, we saw up over the border taking on the Toronto Raptors. They, too, were able to snag the victory, so both teams at least have some momentum coming into this matchup. As an interconference once, we haven’t seen it yet this season; for what it’s worth, OKC won last year’s meetings 117-107 and 126-101.

Of course, plenty has happened since then, so let’s fully break things down so that we can provide you with a best bet from our Thunder vs. Knicks predictions.

🔥 Thunder vs. Knicks Best Bet: Chet Holmgren Over 16.5 Points (Use His Sleeper Card)

Along with the SGA absence, we also saw Isaiah Hartenstein miss last night’s win over Chicago. It was quite the team effort from OKC, as no one truly went off, but they had six players score 12+ points. As for New York’s momentum for any Thunder vs. Knicks predictions, they were fueled by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.

KAT went for 21-12-6, and while it was a big night from him, if we’ve learned anything from his time in the Big Apple, it’s that he can be very inconsistent. He can have these great performances and then a complete dud, which is in part why we see a bigger performance from Chet Holmgren for our Thunder vs. Knicks predictions.

Having SGA back on the court, and even Hartenstein, may take opportunities away from him, it also takes an incredible amount of pressure off him. In other words, his looks should be far more favorable than they felt last night. KAT didn’t have to deal with a great big man last night, but Holmgren is easily a tier above Jakob Poeltl.

That’s why we’re on Chet Holmgren over 16.5 points (add him to a Sleeper lineup) as the best bet from our Thunder vs. Knicks predictions.
