We like the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the New York Knicks on Friday at 8:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

New York has won nine straight games but still is a decent sized underdog tonight.

Why? Because the Knicks have trouble against the Thunder.

Over their L15 games against them, they are just 4-11 versus the spread. (1-5 straight up over the L6.)

Oklahoma City has won eight games in a row themselves.

The Thunder are 5-0 over their L5 games against Eastern Conference teams.

We think OKC wins this one by double digits.
