The Knicks head to Oklahoma for this one. Here we have yet another team that is much further along than the Knicks (4-10). The Thunder (8-5) got off to a slow start this year but are finding their stride of late. Paul George is a two-way superstar in his prime. Steven Adams is the prototypical low usage, high efficiency big man (.602 TS%) for a high usage player like Russell Westbrook. Then he helps anchor a top five defense on the other end.
The Thunder are one of the top few defenses in the league.
