Game Time and Place
Per the NBA's official schedule, New York visits Oklahoma City on Sunday, March 29, with the game listed for 7:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. CT). The Paycom Center event page confirms the start time and notes that doors open about 90 minutes before tipoff. The arena sits at 100 W. Reno Ave in downtown Oklahoma City, right in the middle of the postgame traffic you will want to plan around.

Sunday night's clash is part of NBC's national package and will stream on Peacock. Per Peacock, the game will be available on the service, and streaming platforms that carry NBC in-market, including Fubo, often list the matchup for subscribers in the region.
Odds, Starters and Injury Watch
As reported by The Oklahoman, Oklahoma City entered the matchup at 58-16 and New York at 48-26. BetMGM listed the Thunder as an 8.5-point favorite with a -350 moneyline, and the game opened around a 224.5 over/under. The Oklahoman's preview also projected expected starters for both teams and logged availability notes: Chet Holmgren available after missing one game with a right-hip contusion, Miles McBride questionable with a pelvic and core issue, Ariel Hukporti and Dillon Jones on G League assignments, and Landry Shamet out with a knee contusion. The preview included a prediction that leaned toward an Oklahoma City win.
What To Watch
The matchup figures to hinge on playmaking and interior defense: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's shot creation against Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, and whether Holmgren can disrupt enough attempts at the rim. Oklahoma City has leaned on length and transition scoring this season, while New York will look to control the pace and pound the glass. Live box scores and lineups will be updated throughout the broadcast on CBS Sports.
Tickets, Parking and Local Tips
For fans headed downtown, the Paycom Center event page provides visitor information and notes that doors open about 90 minutes before tipoff. Remaining tickets and parking options are also available through AXS and Ticketmaster. It is smart to allow extra time for downtown traffic before the game and a slower exit after a nationally televised matchup empties out the arena.
