NBA Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions: Knicks vs. Thunder (Monday)
We’re on to another week in the NBA. There are eight games on tonight’s schedule, including two that will be featured on NBATV.
At this time, every single game has a spread that isn’t at double digits. We should end up getting some exciting, tight basketball.
That should help our two same-game parlays out. Here’s a closer look at Knicks vs. Thunder.
NBA Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions: Knicks vs. Thunder
New York Knicks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
- Leg 1: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 30.5 Points (-115)
- Leg 2: Josh Giddey Over 14.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 3: Josh Giddey Under 6.5 Assists (-140)
The Oklahoma City Thunder will welcome the New York Knicks to town for a showdown between two teams that have been playing close to .500 throughout the year.
The Knicks haven’t looked good defensively, allowing points at a top-ten rate this season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 31.1 points per game. He’s fourth in scoring and has scored at least 31 points in 67% of games this season. However, he’s coming off a game in which he scored 15 points against Memphis, shooting 6-of-18. So now his line is a bit lower than usual. Grab it.
Josh Giddey is a do-it-all kind of player for the Thunder. He’s averaged 14,9 points per game while earning 7.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists. Giddey is averaging over 30 minutes per game in November while scoring 15.1 points per game. Recently, he’s been red hot, scoring 15 points in seven of his last nine games. That should continue against the Knicks.
However, Giddey’s now looking to score more. That means fewer assists. He averaged 5.9 assists in November but just had a game where he had 11 assists. He’s had three games with at least ten assists but has failed to earn seven in every other game. He’s had seven assists or more in 23% of games this season. Let’s back the under.
