Key Stats
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks sit 4th in the Eastern Conference standings and have been playing a solid brand of basketball. Jalen Brunson is the clear star, as he leads the team in scoring and assists, averaging 27.6 points and 6.4 assists per game. C Mitchell Robinson and PF Julius Randle lead the team on rebounds, but both are out of this game, which can be troublesome for the Knicks. Robinson was also their steals leader with 1.5 a game, followed by SF OG Anunoby with 1.3, who is also out for this game.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets are currently 2nd in the Western Conference standings and are a top contender to win it all and repeat as NBA champions. It comes as no surprise that C Nikola Jokic leads the team in points (26.0), rebounds (12.3) and assists (9.0) per game. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the team’s leader in steals at 1.4 per game.

Game Prediction
Even though the Knicks are on a roll, visiting the Nuggets is just a tough matchup for them. Denver is 27-6 at home, the second-best in the league, while the Knicks have a 19-14 away record. Not only that, New York has no one to keep up with Jokic, as both Randle and Robinson are not playing, which means there is no obstacle for the Serbian superstar to go off tonight. Expect the Knicks vs. Nuggets to be a contested game at first, but then Denver will get a big separation to win-handedly.
Final Pick
Denver Nuggets -9.5 (-112)
