Knicks vs Nuggets Prediction
The NY Knicks are rolling right now, with wins in seven of their last 10 games, and we know they get an extra boost when playing at MSG. The Knicks should also have confidence, knowing they rocked the Nuggets back in November by a score of 145-118. With that said, the Nuggets have played their best ball of the season as well, with a 7-3 ATS and SU record in their last 10 games. The Nuggets should also be eager to rebound from two disappointing road losses. With the Nuggets finding their form and Jokic playing some of the best ball of his life, I have a hard time turning down free points. Also, seeing Hart questionable doesn’t help the Knicks case, as he does so much at both ends of the floor. Give me the Nuggets and the free bucket in what should be a fun game.
