Game Tonight: OKC Thunder vs Knicks Odds, Injury Report, Predictions, for Nov. 21

A new week begins with the OKC Thunder at home hosting the New York Knicks in their second and final game of this campaign.

The last time these teams met it was an offensive explosion as the Thunder dropped 145 points on the Knicks who’ll no doubt be looking for revenge.

In a bit of a rarity, the Thunder are favored by 2.0 points due to the Knicks playing a back-to-back set that witnessed them lose 95-116 in Phoenix on Sunday.

The over/under is 230 and given the teams put up a cumulative 280 points in the last battle it’s likely both coaches will be imploring their squads to play a more disciplined defensive contest.

The moneyline places the Thunder at minus -125 and the Grizzlies at plus -135

Injury Report

Darius Bazley (ankle) will miss his sixth consecutive game as he’s ruled out again.  Isaiah Joe (knee) and Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) join him on the sidelines.

After missing three games Tre Mann (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday’s match.

Chet Holmgren (foot) continues to rehab and is out for the season.

As for the Knicks, they have a single player on their injury report — starter Cam Reddish (groin) who is listed as questionable.

Prediction

After a weekend off to rest up from the bumps and bruises amassed the OKC Thunder will be ready to hit the hardwood running.

On one side of the equation, you have a team wanting revenge for how they lost to this squad last time out (Knicks). And on the other side, is the young squad who have that visit to the Mecca still fresh in their minds and know they can beat this squad.

It’s also a battle of the Knicks’ defense versus the Thunder’s offense with both teams looking to improve on the opposite side of the hardwood.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had (for him) a cold shooting night in the match versus the Grizzlies so it’s likely he’ll have a better night at the office and be channeling his 37 points, eight assists, five rebound, three steals, and two blocks performance from the last meeting between the clubs.

Josh Giddey also had a big game in New York recording a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.  Players bank these performances in their memories and circle the date of their next meeting so like SGA this could be another strong showing from the Thunder point guard.

The point spread is low and the Knicks will be fatigued so I like OKC to sweep the season series against the Knicks and cover.

Thunder 115 – Knicks 110
