The New York Knicks will take on the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden tonight. This will be the second and final meeting of the season between these teams. The Knicks won the previous game and will come into this one looking to sweep their regular season series against the Nuggets. However, Nikola Jokic and company are no pushovers, making this one of the most exciting matches from tonight.

– Moneyline: Nuggets (+125) vs Knicks (-150)
– Spread: Nuggets (+3) vs Knicks (-3)
– Total (O/U): Nuggets -115 (O 239.5) vs Knicks -110 (U 239.5)
(Note: Odds are correct at the time of writing and likely to change.)
The New York Knicks have surprised many this season by grabbing the third seed in a tightly contested Eastern Conference. Adding Karl-Anthony Towns to the lineup has been extremely beneficial as he has taken a step forward in New York. At the time of writing, KAT is averaging 24.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 54% from the field.
While the Knicks are favorites to win tonight’s matchup, we believe that the Nuggets will upset them. Both teams have a record of 7-3 over their last 10 games. But, the Nuggets still have their championship identity and will come out guns blazing as they try and avoid a sweep in the regular season series.
Much like the fans, we also expect Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray to show out and put big numbers on the board tonight. If the Nuggets are able to dictate the flow after two quarters, this should end up being an easy win for the team.
Our prediction: The Nuggets will win
