This is an early game from NBA standards. The only times during the week that games start this early are on Sunday’s. This game is at Oklahoma City where it is a bit of a travel for a New York Knicks squad that played Friday Night against the Bucks. I believe this early start will affect the Knicks into a sluggish performance against a quality team. The Knicks have been a jump shooting team all year, and have been thriving on high percentage makes during Carmelo Anthony’s tear.

They’ll come back down to Earth today, as OKC will take care of business on their home floor. Minus 7.5 to 8 seems like an awfully high number for a team on an eleven game win streak, but is set by Vegas for a reason.

Take Oklahoma City
