Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks Prediction 3/4/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the New York Knicks collide at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. Here’s an Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New York Knicks prediction. This article will include an Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New York Knicks pick.

Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview 

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on a tear lately, as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Bulls in a 116-108 road win last night. Jared McCain led the team with 20 points off the bench, Isaiah Joe added 19 points, and Aaron Wiggins tallied 18 points with seven rebounds and four assists, while Cason Wallace chipped in with 17 points.

As a team, the Thunder shot 43 percent from the field and just 10 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and led by just one point at halftime before they finally clicked into gear and poured in 32 points in the third quarter to open up a 19-point lead. It wasn’t the most clinical of finishes as they allowed the Bulls to make things interesting at the end, but it was a solid win considering they had such a cold night from behind the perimeter. 

New York Knicks Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in great form, as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be eager to build on their three-game win streak after smashing the Raptors in a 111-95 road win last night. Jalen Brunson led the team with 26 points and 10 assists on 10 of 22 shooting; Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points with 12 rebounds and six assists on 10 of 17 shooting, while OG Anunoby chipped in with 15 points on five of six shooting.

As a team, the Knicks shot a sizzling 57 percent from the field and 10 of 29 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early and exploded for 36 points in the second quarter to take a 10-point lead into halftime and just when it looked like the Knicks were fading, they dominated the fourth quarter by 24-13 to stay hot with another blowout win on the road. 

Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks Prediction

The Thunder are expecting to have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Ajay Mitchell back in action, but Jalen Williams is still out, while the Knicks are still missing Miles McBride.

The Thunder are coming into this contest with plenty of winning momentum and they should have a few starters back in action. While the Knicks are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now, they are almost fully healthy and I think they can pull off the upset at home given their current form. The Thunder should still be favorites, but I have this game going down to the wire, so I will lean towards the Knicks with the points at home in this spot.
