Denver Nuggets @ New York Knicks Preview

The New York Knicks (31-16) are riding a four-game winning streak and will host the Denver Nuggets (28-18) at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have been strong defensively, allowing just 110.8 points per game, while their offense is led by Jalen Brunson, who averages 25.8 points per game. Karl-Anthony Towns has also been a key contributor, averaging 24.9 points and 13.8 rebounds per game.

The Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic (30.0 PPG, 13.1 RPG, 10.2 APG), have been inconsistent recently, losing their last two games. They will need a strong performance from Jokic and Jamal Murray (19.8 PPG) to overcome the Knicks' stout defense. Denver has a 14-10 record on the road and will look to bounce back in this challenging matchup.

Pick: Knicks -3

widget-odds-nba-ats-4721-DEN-NY

The Knicks have been in excellent form, winning four straight games and showcasing strong defense. With home-court advantage and a solid track record against the Nuggets, the Knicks are well-positioned to cover the -3 spread. Denver's recent struggles, including back-to-back losses, further tilt the odds in New York's favor. Expect Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns to lead the way for the Knicks.

Jalen Brunson Over 25.5 Points

Brunson has been the Knicks' offensive leader, averaging 25.8 points per game. With Denver's defense allowing 116.2 points per game, Brunson is poised for a strong scoring performance.

Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists

Jokic is averaging 10.2 assists per game this season. As the focal point of Denver's offense, he will likely surpass this mark, especially if the Nuggets aim to keep pace with the Knicks.

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 12.5 Rebounds
