Oklahoma City Thunder at New York Knicks Prediction
If one fact could be gathered, it would be that Russell Westbrook is a shoe-in for MVP at this point this season. There was a lot of doubt and shadow forecasted around the Thunder after Kevin Durant left for Golden State. However, Westbrook has proven otherwise. OKC currently ranks ninth in both scoring per game and field goal percentage. On the contrary, New York will likely not have an answer for a player like Westbrook as their defense gives up 106.3 points per game, placing them near the bottom of the league in scoring defense. Furthermore, the Knicks very affable to competitors from the three-point line as they allow opponents to shoot 35.4% overall. If the Knicks defense plays at this level they will likely have a long night at Madison Square Garden regardless of their conceived home court advantage. Westbrook is simply too good to leave unchecked.
