Both teams enter this contest riding impressive winning streaks, with the Knicks having secured nine consecutive victories and the Thunder not far behind with eight straight wins.

Despite the Thunder's strong record and home-court advantage, they will be challenged by the fatigue of a back-to-back game, having played just the night before against the LA Clippers, where they won 116-98.

Oklahoma City is currently favored by 5.0 points, with a moneyline of -210, indicating a 65% implied probability of winning.

The Knicks are coming off a solid 119-103 victory against the Utah Jazz, showcasing their offensive prowess and momentum.

For bettors, player prop markets are buzzing with interest in Karl-Anthony Towns's rebounds and assists, which has emerged as the most popular betting option for this game. The current line for Over 16.5 Rebounds and Assists sits at -130, with sharp bettors leaning towards the Over, suggesting they believe the line may be mispriced.

As the Knicks and Thunder prepare for this clash, the stakes are high, and both teams will look to extend their winning ways. Fans and bettors alike will be eager to see how the fatigue factor plays out for the Thunder against a surging Knicks squad.
