NY Knicks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Right when it looked like the NY Knicks were figuring things out, they lost as 9-point favorites to the Jazz. The Denver Nuggets have won 7 of their last 10 games, Jokic continues to play like an MVP, and Russell Westbrook is coming off probably his best game in Denver. Of course, the Nuggets are usually their best at home with arguably the best home-court advantage. I’d need more points to consider the Knicks. The line is more than reasonable. Give me the Nuggets and short line.
