No team has forced more turnovers than OKC this year (18.7 per game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Brunson scored 22 points against the Thunder on 9-of-23 shooting. Not great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he&#8217;s averaging 25.0 PPG on the season, this looks like a solid spot to bet on Brunson turning in a below-average performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Brunson is averaging 21.0 PPG at home this season, hitting this under in nine of 16 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hartenstein over 15.5 rebounds\/assists (-132):<\/strong> Hartenstein feasted against the Knicks last Friday, snagging 14 rebounds to go with seven assists (21 RA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there any extra motivation for the 7-footer to perform against his old team? Maybe, but that&#8217;s not really what this is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartenstein should be the Thunder&#8217;s primary rebounder on a nightly basis (at least while Chet Holmgren is out). He&#8217;s four-plus inches taller than each of OKC&#8217;s other rotation players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first Thunder\/Knicks game of the season, Hartenstein and Knicks centre Karl-Anthony Towns accounted for 36 of the game&#8217;s 83 rebounds (43.4%). And with KAT listed as questionable tonight, even more of those boards could funnel to Hartenstein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that Hartenstein is an unselfish big, too. He averages the second-most passes per game on OKC and has four-plus assists in six of his past seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gilgeous-Alexander over 5.5 assists (-114):<\/strong> Hopefully Hartenstein isn&#8217;t hogging all the assists, because this is a very playable number for SGA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he&#8217;s averaging 30-plus points for a third straight season, the Canadian superstar still dishes the rock plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilgeous-Alexander averages 6.1 assists per game and has cleared this total in six of his past eight \u2014 including a seven-assist effort against the Knicks on Jan. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also averaging 12.5 potential assists per game, which equates to his total passes that lead directly to a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, all 25 NBA players averaging at least 11.0 potential assists per game are also averaging at least 5.5 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:22 a.m. ET 01\/10\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second consecutive Friday, the Oklahoma City Thunder square off against the New York Knicks.
