Knicks vs Thunder time, how to watch top NBA contenders clash at MSG

A pair of NBA title contenders will face off for the first time this season in what might very well become an NBA Finals preview, and it's happening in one of the iconic arenas in sports.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are traveling to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks on Wednesday, March 4, with both squads competing on the second legs of respective back-to-backs.

The Thunder currently have the best record in the NBA at 48-15 and just toppled the Bulls in Chicago on Tuesday, March 3, while the Knicks took care of Toronto on Tuesday night.

Since both teams played Tuesday, the injury report hasn't been issued, but one thing to watch will be the status of last season's MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who missed the win against the Bulls for management of an abdominal strain.

Here's everything you ahead of Wednesday night's Oklahoma City Thunder-New York Knicks game:
