New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Picks (Jalen Brunson Key Factor): Winning Game Angles

A quick look at OG Anunoby's performance in recent games reveals why we're placing our chips in his corner for a grand total of over 18.5 points plus rebounds in the Knicks' upcoming clash against the Thunder. Anunoby's been a consistent force at home, combining points and rebounds to hit the mark in 4 out of his last 5 games at Madison Square Garden. His overall hit rate is likewise impressive, surpassing the 18.5 threshold in 5 of his last 7 games. Sure, his previous encounters with the Thunder have seen him fall short, but he's been showing an upward trend, averaging 17.8 points and 4 rebounds overall in his last 5 games. Backed by a solid model edge of 13.8%, we're banking on Anunoby's steady home-court performance and recent form to carry him over the line this Thursday.

Isaiah Hartenstein (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 13.5 Points + Assists (-132)

As we approach the NY Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder showdown this Thursday, our eyes are keenly trained on the versatile big man, Isaiah Hartenstein. Now, we're not saying he's not capable of a breakout performance. But, the numbers tell us a bit of a different story. Looking at his recent games, Hartenstein's been averaging a combined 7.8 points and assists on the road, falling short of the 13.5 target set by Fanduel. Even against this specific Knicks team, his numbers don't exactly skyrocket, with averages of 6 points and 6 assists in away games. His stats are consistently under the mark, with a 14/14 overall hit rate in the last two weeks and a solid 7/7 away hit rate. Thus, it's safe to say that betting a Hartenstein under 13.5 points + assists is a great way to add some certainty to an otherwise unpredictable NBA night.
