Knicks vs Thunder Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Free NBA Expert and Computer Picks For Every Game March 29, 2026
Put simply, this isn’t likely a matchup for basketball purists who love slick offense. That makes the Under a value pick tonight. It’s 2-7 in the Pelicans’ last nine contests, and 41-32 for the Rockets this season. Houston is allowing just 110.2 PPG this year, the fourth-best mark in the league, and should lock down a New Orleans offense that may be without Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy III again here.
Meanwhile, the Rockets’ over-reliance on Kevin Durant to get buckets has been a storyline all year, and they’re still stuck in the bottom half of the NBA with 114.1 PPG.
OKC has been winning a lot, but it hasn't been doing enough to cover for bettors as of late. The Knicks have already played the Thunder close, losing by three in thier last meeting earlier this month. With two outstanding defenses going at each other in an important game for both sides, I'm expecting this one to be close, which has me backing New York to cover.
Karl-Anthony Towns is virtually a lock for a double-double every night, logging 12 in his last 14 outings.
Towns is averaging 11.9 rpg, with 8.8 defensive boards per game, so he should dominate this matchup on the glass and snag another double-double vs. the Thunder, who rank near the bottom of the NBA in rebounding since the All-Star break.

Jamal Murray is averaging a career-high 25.5 points per game, and he’s in the midst of a major heater right now. Murray has averaged 27.1 points across his last 16 outings, including 84 points across his last two games.
