Oklahoma

The Oklahoma City Thunder met the Los Angeles Clippers on their home court yesterday and confidently confirmed their status as favourites. The team conceded less than a hundred points and brought a strong opponent the final difference of 18 points - 116:98. Note that the leader of Oklahoma Shay Gijess-Alexander again held a quality meeting, scoring 29 points. Overall, the Canadian has a 31.3 points per game average this season.

Oklahoma won the eighth game in a row, and has a total balance of 28-5. From the second line of the Western Conference, which is now occupied by Memphis, the Thunder have already pulled away by 5.0 wins. Also, after conceding less than a hundred from the Clippers, Okla reminded that it is the best defence this season, conceding 103.3 points per game on average.

New York

The Knicks have an even longer winning streak than Oklahoma - nine games in a row. During this stretch, the team, among others, defeated strong Orlando, Minnesota and San Antonio, and the previous three games were played against outsiders. First, the Knicks beat Washington twice on the road, and in the first game they beat the Wizards only in overtime - 136:132 (119:119), but in the second game they were close to an overwhelming victory - 126:106. Then New York at home confidently coped with Utah - 119:103.

Following such a successful stretch, the Knicks have secured their place on the third line of the Eastern Conference. The balance of wins is 24-10. New York noticeably moved away from the fourth line and Orlando located there by 4.5 wins, and from Boston, which goes second, is already only 0.5 wins behind.

Expert Betting Tips

Oklahoma has lost only five games since the start of the championship, but who better than New York, now in great shape, to stop the Thunder today. The Western Conference leader will play a back-to-back in the upcoming game. Contrary to the statistics of face-to-face matches between the rivals in recent years, we bet here with a plus handicap on the Knicks, and also do not expect the teams to break the total - Okla, let's repeat, has the best defence in the league, and New York is in the sixth position in the defensive rating.
