New York Knicks at *Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5, 238.5)
Oklahoma City flexed its muscles last night in a dominant home win over Minnesota. The Thunder put up 1.322 points per possession in non-garbage time on the best defense in the NBA. It was a statement that Oklahoma City is not just some flash in the pan, but a legitimate threat in the Western Conference. The Thunder are now sixth in non-garbage time offensive rating (119.8) and with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor their offensive rating ranks in the 92nd percentile (123.1). Not many teams will be able to contain this offense, and the Knicks are no different.
